    It's dated 26 June, 2020 03:36:18 so it seems to come from the future a bit but
    that's livable. It tossed fine here.. :)

    Yeah, thats wierd. It works fine on Riddells board (Leisure Time) but my
    time is in the future. I checked the time on the server and its good. The program is actually timestamping the logfile with the wrong time too:

    ! 26 Jun 20 03:36:18 PKTD Pktdate Rev. 1.5: processing c:\sf\mail\out\0004009C. KT (type: 2+)
    ! 26 Jun 20 03:36:18 PKTD Packet header date (D/M/Y): 25.6.2020 is OK.
    ! 26 Jun 20 03:36:18 PKTD Packet sender: 21:4/156.1
    ! 26 Jun 20 03:36:18 PKTD Msg #001: Date "064983 Jan 22 0655" fixed to "26 Jun 20 03:36:18" (rc 2).
    ! 26 Jun 20 03:36:18 PKTD Keeping a copy of the corrupted PKT as c:\sf\mail\out 0004009C.y2k for manual inspection.

    Now to further investigate where the program is getting that goofy time... ZULU?

    Yeah, I saw a message from Leisure Time and it looked OK.

    ! 26 Jun 20 03:36:18 PKTD Msg #001: Date "064983 Jan 22 0655" fixed to "26 Ju

    It looks like it's using UTC or ZULU time for some reason. I wonder if there is
    a TZUTC environment variable set, or if pktdate would use it?

    On my old fashioned BBBS I have to set both TZ and TZUTC so BBBS knows what the
    correct time is.
