Ken,

look at this article from Dan Farmer,
http://www.ddj.com/articles/2000/0010/0010f/0010f.htm. Lucas'll love it
because it's from Dr. Dobb's Journal :).

Also check into "The Coroner's Toolkit",
http://www.porcupine.org/forensics/. You'll find more there about MACtimes
than I can explain :).

I've been wanting to play with TCT and send something to the list, but
haven't taken the time. Looks interesting to me.

ciao,
