    OT> seriously, you are wrong :-P   
      
   you might want to look at those sources again, sir... we specifically tracked   
   this modified time stamp problem down several years ago... every message coming   
    via squish had the seconds in multiples of two... no odd numbers at all...   
      
   the DateTime record is a four byte packed longint... it is not a unix time   
   number... in C one would break it apart like so...   
      
   with the packed time in lTime:   
      
   sec = ((lTime>>0) & 0x1f)*2; // 0..60, only even values   
   min = (lTime>>5) & 0x3f; // 0..59   
   hour = (lTime>>11) & 0x1f; // 0..23   
   day = (lTime>>16) & 0x1f; // 1..31   
   month = (lTime>>21) & 0xf; // 1..12   
   year = ((lTime>>25) & 0x7f) + 1980; // 1980..2108   
      
   i repeat, squish is using the DOS filesystem datetime format for the message   
   date/time fields... the DOS filesystem datetime format is limited to 2 second   
   increments...   
      
   sorry to be the bearer of bad news...

   Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set   
    them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.
