   if you have the proper binary for your BBS, yes, there may very well be... my   
   system contains a patch and easily followed instructions to correct the y2k   
   bug in the C library used in the door and the reader... they are contained in   
   my BLUEWAVE file area... i've loosely tested the patch by manually patching   
   the RA version of the door... everything was found as the patch scripts and   
   readme state and the manual hex editing of the binary was no problem...   
   TTBOMK, everything works as desired and i've not seen any mention of problems   
   from those who use my system's offline capabilities who choose to use the BW   
   door (if i still have it online)...
