While writing to disk with an engraving tool, Robby went on about Bizarre 
Occurrence to  All
 RD> Doeas anyone know what might cause the system date to change in the
 RD> middle of a call?  
Not had that happen...
 RD> My date changed from 5-3-97 to 7-7-80.  My log showed: 
 RD> :03 May 22:07:51 MAX Browsing msg areas
 RD> :07 Jul 22:25:57 MAX Return from: "e:\doors\lord\start.bat 1" (0) 
At a guess, another bug in Lame OR Dumb? (sorry about the name - just seems 
the users around this country who like LORD fit the above :-) :-) 
.
 RD> Worst part is, I didn't notice it until I ran my expired user purge
 RD> utility, and it deleted everyone!
I'd suggest stearing clear of utilities that do damage when they expire :-). 
Find ones that sit and do nothing, but not ones that delete themselves or 
worse, do some damage to some part of your system.
