    TS> I used your full .EXE patch. Nice work! I was reading your .DOC file   
    TS> on it and you mention something about the C libraries expiring in 2038.   
    TS> Can you elaborate on this?   
      
   I am confused.  The fix that I made for Y2K Bluewave was a bandaid that   
   one installed as a follow on batch file after BW packed up the REP   
   packet.  I would not call it a full .EXE patch.  There is a later fix   
   created by Richard Backus that patches the EXE file itself.  Perhaps   
   that is what you are now using.  I do not know about a comment on C   
   libraries expiring in 2038.  Perhaps Richard (or Nancy) could comment.   
      
    TS> Also, what "OTHER" 3rd party libraries will the patch work on??   
      
   Again, my fix was simply for the BlueWave reader for QWK packets and REP   
   reply packets.  The batch file read the REP packet and corrected the   
   mistakes made by BW.  IMO, it would not apply to any other programs.  I   
   cannot speak to Richard's patch with respect to that.
