I just dug up an old packet I had laying around here and tried pktdate on it:

bbs{at}filegate:~/pktdate$ ./pktdate -me -c 1a35fac1.pkt Pktdate Rev. 1.5:
processing 1a35fac1.pkt (type: 2+) Packet header date (D/M/Y): 19.9.2012
fixed to 25.3.2016. Packet sender: 1:261/38.0
Msg #001: Date "19 Sep 12  15:50:00" fixed to "25 Mar 16 
16:38:51" (rc 8). Msg #001: Message sender is "Nick
Kill{at}1:261/38". Msg #002: Date "19 Sep 12  15:54:22" fixed
to "25 Mar 16  16:38:51" (rc 8). Msg #002: Message sender is
"Janis Kracht{at}1:261/38". Wrote changes to 1a35fac1.pkt.

Interesting.. :)

Take care,
Janis
