ME>And opus has always done its' dates just a bit different internally 
 ME>(recall all of those BOP proggies and hassles about opus not meeting 
 ME>Fidonet standards??)
Those BOP proggies like GMD (God's Message Destroyer :) ) operate on the 20 
byte date field in the message headers. That is limited (I think) to just two 
digit year fields. That has nothing to do with "internal" Opus dates.
Come to think of it, you know what *may* likely fall over in 2000? Message 
renumbering programs that delete based on date.
Anyway, I don't think Opus does much based on the message or packet header 
dates, but then again, you never know.
