Hi! Carlos,

That's probably Golded 1.1.4.7, and maybe why there's a version 1.1.5 now.  ;)

Yes, I've seen that conversion (it is a very old version too, BTW).

I just waited till a civilized time for you to catch the note.  :)

Yes, it usually shows my local AEST.  I used version JamNNTPd 1.0 for the longest time on both Windows (no longer running) and this Linux. Now I have a personal edit of version 1.3, using modifications suggested by Mark Lewis (1:3634/12, who is conspicuous by his absence in recent times).

Cheers,
Paul.
