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.
