    ml>> the main problem you are going to run into is y2k related... the   
    ml>> door has y2k problems as do the clients... there is a patch   
    ml>> available on my system in the bluewave files area that you might   
    ml>> be able to apply to fix the y2k date problem...   
    MR> I remember that I used BW-Y2K fix or something like that.   
      
    ml> yeah, i think that is the original add-on fix that dale shipp put   
    ml> out... it replaces your zip command with a script to run which fixes   
    ml> the rep before it is uploaded...    
    ml> there is a binary patch that's available now, though... it actually   
    ml> patches the C runtime stuff related to the time and date so that it   
    ml> doesn't return greater than 100 for years 2000 and up...    
      
   BW-Y2K.zip is the file that has the binary patch.  Dale's was BWrepfix,   
   most recent one I have is BWRF062.zip...     
      
    MR>> I will look at your BBS and try to find.   
    ml> i saw a FREQ from you for NODELIST which failed for some reason...   
    ml> i'll have to look and see if i can figure out how it arrived and why   
    ml> one of the allfixes didn't process it correctly... hopefully you've   
    ml> been able to find the file you needed for bluewave :)    
      
   Piggybacking on this...  lately, it's been rather hard to get onto the   
   bbs by telnet...  I'm usually getting a timeout... and even when I get   
   on, I've been being timed out (apparently) in the middle of reading   
   messages or playing Scrab... everything just stops, and then I'm   
   apparently dumped off... except that when I try getting back on, the bbs   
   still thinks i'm logged in on the original node for a while...  It   
   doesn't happen every time, but it's been very frequent lately... I also   
   know that Dave has been experiencing difficulties getting on, too...   
      
   ttyl         neb   
      
   ... Not breaking the rules, just testing the elasticity...
