   Looks good.  Which Y2K fix did you use?  There are two out there.  The   
   bandaid I wrote which encircles BlueWave with a batch file to correct   
   the Y2K headers, and another one which actually patches the executable   
   directly.   
      
   IMO, the second version is a much better solution and easier to   
   implement.   
      
   Look at the Wiki article on BlueWave.  It mentions both, but does not   
   give links.  I believe that one of the Mark(c) Lewis has both on his web   
   site and maybe he will jump in to give you a pointer.  It that does not   
   happen quickly -- get back to me and I will dig up the links for you.
