When I work remotely, I have to use this really old version of "elm" (a mail program) that isn't Y2K-compliant, and thinks this is the year 100. Your system is probably converting this date to 0 internally, which is a synonym for "midnight Jan 1 1970 GMT". Offset to your present timezone, it winds up in late 1969. -- Schlingt dreifach einen Kreis vom dies! || John Cowan <jcowan@...> Schliesst euer Aug vor heiliger Schau, || http://www.reutershealth.com Denn er genoss vom Honig-Tau, || http://www.ccil.org/~cowan Und trank die Milch vom Paradies. -- Coleridge (tr.
