I don't think it's the wrong field. Most (all?) C time calls use "years since 1900" instead of the actual year value, so the 114 return values from the original message look like they are just the raw returned data. (See 'man time.h' for more information) In 1999 or earlier this just gave you the correct 2-digit year value so yes, this does like like a Y2K problem, if not a very serious one. -- Reverend Paul Colquhoun, ULC. http://andor.dropbear.id.au/ Asking for technical help in newsgroups?
