      <div class="">You have the original Evtlog.  That time stamp is
        from the logger, not FAL (it generates the event but the OS puts
        on the timestamp and evtlog processes it).  The 2034 date is
        what evtlog as shipped would do.  The patched version I created
        fixes it for dates after 2003.  But the fix is incomplete, it
        fails to handle Julian halfdate values with the upper bit set.</div>

    <p>Thanks Paul, understood. I realized it's the logger after sending
      the email. I will patch RST101 with Tony's copy on DINGO. Thanks
      Tony too for hosting it. Anyway looks like it is limited to logger
      messages, RSTS/E itself happily stays on air.<br>
