Also, Dale recently posted this link, in another thread, which *may* help you find the source of the executable: [1] http://www.portagefilelist.de/site/query Yeah, I used that one, which is one of the things that led me to my statement that it looks like a BSD command. You'll see that: dev-libs/gnulib - /usr/share/gnulib/modules/fstat sys-freebsd/freebsd-ubin - /usr/bin/fstat Also there are BSD manpages available online: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?fstat Stroller.

Not to get terribly off topic here, but fstat is, in fact, a C call. I wonder if this is simply a user-made tool. If you look at code examples for this call, it's not terribly difficult to use at all.

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?
