    TS> Is it just the Borland C libraries or also other C libraries that   
    TS> suffer from this problem?   
      
   Not just Borland, but most CPM/DOS/OS2 compiler libraries from before   
   year 2k.  And therefore programs written using them.   
      
    TS> Are there any work arounds available or is this it for all Borland C   
    TS> Apps?   
      
   I don't know of any other generic workarounds.  I did these to cover the   
   3 libraries used by the last BlueWave software releases.  What I did is   
   not obvious and is time-consuming to generate.   
      
    TS> All Versions of Borland C ?   
      
   No, BW-Y2K16.BAT and BW-Y2KO2.BAT are for Borland, while BW-Y2K32.BAT is   
   for WatCom.  Read the *.BAT files - the header shows which library each   
   one works with.  These Copyright strings can be seen in the program   
   *.EXE file.
