       -=> On 11-27-18 08:26, Tom Swartz <=-        -=> spoke to Dale Shipp about Re: Test Drive <=-               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.               Dale Shipp        fido_261_1466 (at) verizon (dot) net        (1:261/1466)                     ...
