Hey all, When looking in my cookie jar, I see 4 cookies for LUGNET: NEWSPOST=x, NEWSMAIL=x, NEWSGROUPFILTER=x, /=x However, when I trace an HTTP GET, the only cookies transmitted in the query are NEWSGROUPFILTER and / . e.g.: GET (URL) HTTP/1.0 (...)

(...) at least at the unix epoch, most of the code won't have to be changed - the assumption here is that we won't be using 32-bit boxes anymore, so a long int will be a lot longer :) :) Dan (24 years ago, 10-Apr-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Yeah, the windowing/epoching/whatevering isn't a big deal. The thing is, they *hardcoded* the 29. They didn't even make it a constant, defined at the top of the code (or in a copybook).
