[ARGUS] why have multiple start / end time values ?

[slif at bellsouth.net]

These files include the header,
but only ArgusSource.c defines ArgusSource,
which differentiates  definition from declaration.

  File           Line
1 ArgusAuth.c    75 #include <ArgusSource.h>
2 ArgusModeler.c 60 #include <ArgusSource.h>
3 ArgusOutput.c  57 #include <ArgusSource.h>
4 ArgusSource.c  58 #include <ArgusSource.h>
5 Argus_icmp.c   28 #include <ArgusSource.h>
6 Argus_mac.c    28 #include <ArgusSource.h>
7 argus.c        57 #include <ArgusSource.h>

But only ArgusModeler.c, ArgusSource.c, and argus.c
refer to ArgusStartTime and ArgusEndTime.
