Jerry, In this particular instance, the user received the files via email from an external source, so it's really hard to say exactly why the date is 0. I can be sure, however, that the date is like that on the file before it enters our network. I've had similar problems before, for example if you FTP a file from a site that has an cheap FTP daemon or some sort of filesystem issue. I suspect there is nothing really that can be done about this, except to advise the user to check these things out before he/she logs out. In an ideal world, the time would be set and this wouldn't be an issue. However, this has happened numerous times in the past and will likely keep happening well into the future. Also I've been thinking, it's possible that the mtime is actually maxed out as opposed to blank. Perhaps Linux is looking at it as a negative number using 2's complement arithmetic while Windows is looking at it as a positive number. Anyway, I'm beat. I have no idea what to do about those stupid things. I suppose I could write a cron job to touch any files with that date? What say you? Thanks for your reply. Later, Danny
