what do you mean it doesn't show up on Doc's Place? that's where you posted
them from... the reality is that something has a broken date problem... either
your reader or the door on the BBS you post from... i have numerous "y2k"
packets here and all of them show posts from you with dates ranging from 1995
to 2034... some messages have accurate dates but others do not... i'm unable
to determine what the factor(s) are for this from the raw PKTs i have at
hand...

how did i ""capture"" them?? as a fido mail distributor, i run a tool called
PKTDATE which sidelines PKT files with bad dates in them but this tool also
corrects those dates and passes the messages on... currently i have this tool
running to catch dates that are out by more than 2 years either way... plus or
minus...

i can make these PKTs available to you if you like so you can see the actual
dates in the raw PKTs as they arrived here on my system if you like...
LIST.COM shows them easily as will any other tool that shows the raw binary
data contained in a file...

the main question is what reader/editor are you using for your offline
activities because all of the messages in question show Silver Xpress in the
tearline but there's no indication of whether this is the SX door or the SX
reader/editor that is used...
