   My patched version

   OK. Not too many fidonetters (not even my ZC) noticed my effort to take MAKENL   
   into this new century. And -- needless to say -- I didn't get much   
   appreciation for it either. Even though even Robert Bashe himself promised me   
   I would. :)   
      
      And, as it now turns out, I didn't only fix the Y2K issue, I also fixed the   
   stupid ASCII issue. On top of that I also fixed the equally stupid issue about   
   BAUD rates (only six could be defined in the config file). But those latter   
   improvements, I didn't even tell anyone about... 8-)

      As Ward very well knows, I have done just that. I informed him several   
   months ago of this, hoping he should pass on the information to his RC's, but   
   I haven't seen anything in that direction -- at least not in REGCON.EUR.   
      
      If you have the "genuine" MakeNl 2.51 (dated June 16th 1992, size 48,231b)   
   you can apply the fix below and get it y2k-fixed. If you don't have exactly   
   that version, you can freq MKNL from 2:203/0 or you can get it on the web as   
   www.fidonet.pp.se/nodlistan/mknl.zip.
