excellent... i've never had any problems with pktdate, either...

in this particular situation, it is kinda hard to track as paul seems to be
about the only poster from dave's bbs... at least, he's the only one that
i've seen in any echo in yonks... that's why one has to assume either
paul's software or dave's... by the spec, it really shouldn't be any system
between them and anywhere else since the packed messages are simply copied
from packet to packet and nothing in their header should be modified...
only their path and seenbys are modified...

 ML> It's been on my system since its release.  Thanks anyway!

excellent! i figured that you had it already...
