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.               By mailer I means are you using the Squish software itself (which I believe       has a Y2K update you may need if that is the case), FastEcho, or something       else?                                ...Black holes really suck...        ---BapStats Module (bsDBASE v6.1 Build 1)         * Origin: Omicron Theta BBS (1:261/20)    |
