I was thinking that the SRVRFTPO CONFIG version of TIMESTAMP might
actually apply to the FTPSERVE LOG file. I already use TERM TIMPSTMP ON
for the console messages, so the question still stands. Is the
documentation wrong (TIMESTAMP ON does not appear to be the default, as
stated), or is there a program bug? Which do I report?

While on the subject of the log files, they would be much handier if
they were made date-specific. If the file type were the current date,
perhaps Rexx date(S) format, instead of that totally uninformative
"LOG", it would make life much easier for me and, I suspect, for many
others. This applies to all of those perpetually growing log files that
seem assume that they have an infinitely large disk to use and try to
use every bit of it.

TIMESTAMP applies to actual FTP server messages, not to anonymous, uh, 
"e-drivel" the server puts on the console.  I'd use CP TERMINAL
TIMESTAMP 
ON instead.
