   What fixes?  Seems to me that other then installing a non-yk2 affected dos   
   there were no fixes directly for dos.  Some of the apps maybe.   
      
   Having ditched dos long before that it wasn't any consequence but I did notice   
   quite a few corrupted zipped files for quite some time after that.  All Fido   
   btw since that was the only source of zipped files here.  Lately I see a few   
   zipped files outside of Fido but I make a habit of converting them.  However   
   the bulk of zip is still Fido.  As far as I am aware that was to biggest   
   effect y2k had on BBSing in general given the bulk of them being dos based.   
      
   Life is good,
