It was so long ago I asked for the date in the file I've forgotten
when I asked.

I have to deduce the date from the server returns.  FTP dates are
tricky.  HTTP headers are not consistent, some don't have a date and
some people seem incapable of setting their server clock.  I do a
vague majority vote on the dates when unset.  At the moment there are
some stray ftp dates, the algorithm needs more work.  Summary: what a
pain, how much easier with the date in the file.



James.
