   ->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.   
       
   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?
