Hi Nicholas,

DOS/fat had a resolution of 2 seconds on file times. But since hpt has it's
origins in linux (I think), it's strange that hpt would behave like this.

It's the conversion from the ascii time format inside the pkt files to your
message base. sftftime won't play a part in that.

Bye, Wilfred.
