RW>   What are you using for echomail and does the time stamp look fine

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,
Doug
