Earlier you stated "Most are 2.2 only and don't even know it.", so even allowing that you confused 2+ with 2.2, that's still not true of SBBSecho.

The term "support" and "do" here are rather vague: those terms could refer to the production of packets of a particular type, the consumption of packets of a particular type, or a combination.

<shrugs> If a new date/time format can be introduced in a backward-compatible manner, that's how it should be done, IMHO. And FidoNet should use an existing standard this time, stop making up new (badly defined) ones. --- SBBSecho 3.11-Linux * Origin: Vertrauen - [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net (1:103/705)
