   ->MSGID: 1:104/57.0 520b9e4f   
   ->PID: ViaMAIL! v2.00 90-0001   
       
   ->Upon recycling back to the BBS, Wildcat! detected I was out of time   
   ->and promptly kicked me off stating I had exceeded my time limit.   
   ->Obviously that wasn't the case (I had only been on a few minutes) so the   
   ->whole thing sounded way too familiar.   
   ->   
   ->So I ran up my PATCHWC v3.00 program and checked the Epoch date on the   
   ->WILDCAT.EXE and sure enough, it was set for 1919.  Since today is the   
   ->first day of 2019, this was the exact reason PATCHWC.EXE was created   
   ->for.   
   ->   
   ->So I ran up PATCHWC.EXE and changed the Epoch date to 1930 and ran it   
   ->against Wildcat!'s executables.  Subsequent attempts at replying to   
   ->netmails in Wildcat! were now successful and life is good.   
   ->   
   ->Long story short, if you run DOORs (of any kind) and have not patched   
   ->your Wildcat! EXEs, or if your Epoch date was set to 1919 (as was mine),   
   ->then you'll need to run PATCHWC against it and use at least 1920 as the   
       
   ->Epoch date.  If you need a copy of the program (it's free), let me know   
   ->and I'll make it available for you.   
      
   I requested a copy but never received it???    
   Can you send it to sysop@techware2k.com    
       
   Thanks
