That is GMT -5 hours (midnight GMT is 7 pm EST). So, I bet your Unix system stores the dates in GMT, and knows that you are in EST, and subtracts five hours from the time. When you download the files to your PC, it takes the absolute time. Your PC knows nothing about time zones, so the file time is GMT, or +5 hours from what it "should" be. Again, this is only a guess -- the five hours could just be a coincidence. --Erik -- Erik Bailey | 7 Oak Knoll | Thinking Machines Corp. ejb@think.com | Arlington, MA 02174 | 245 First St. harvard!think!ejb | (617) 643-0732 | Cambridge, MA 02142 /earth is 98% full.

-WHY????????
The YMODEM and ZMODEM protocols specify that the time be expressed in
TAR format octal representation of standard Unix time (GMT). DSZ, ZCOMM,
and Professional-YAM support this standard; apparently Telix does not.

This is obviosly a feature of ZModem having to do with the GMT conversion. It is not a feature of Telix, per se, and it occurs with other telecomm progs, as well. ...................................................................

I cant aswser as to why Zmodem isnt working... but I use Telix everyday... and have had NO problems using Y-Modem. Just use 'sb' from Unix... at least this is much better than Kermit. And quite comparable, in my opinion, to Zmodem. -- ________________________________________________________________________________ ssenkere@polyslo.calpoly.edu | I go to parties, sometimes until 4. ssenkere@demeter.calpoly.edu | Its hard to leave, when you cant find the door --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
