   *** Quoting ROBERT WOLFE from a message to Doug Mccomber ***   
      
   RW>   What are you using for echomail and does the time stamp look fine    
   RW> in the BBS itself?  Is the BBS machine running in a VM or is it    
   RW> running on real, physical hardware?    
      
   Irex with its built-in binkp. The dates are correct and intact in the inbound    
   packets.  The echomail areas in the BBS are in squish format (and were tossed    
   by squish).  The dates are missing (or appear to be) in the echomail files    
   within the BBS.   
      
   I'm just using OS/2's included text editor to view them and whether looking at    
   the Irex packet or the tossed squish file in the BBS, they have lots of funky    
   symbols in them.  These symbols may be masking the date in the BBS files, I'm    
   not sure.   
      
   The BBS computer is real, not a vm.  Regardless I don't think the system clock    
   has any bearing or the dates would be different, just off.  Instead they are    
   all exactly the same.   
      
   Regards,
