The sysop of Chowdanet, Craig Healy, has been trying all year to figure
out a way to get around the bug that made things not quite work in
Wildcat version 4 when 2010 came around.  He finally managed to figure
it out, and here's his email to me, in which he announced it, and gave a
way for other WC4 sysops to do the same fix...  I know there were a few
others out there (Glenn Jarvis, are you still lurking?)... :)

So, below is the message... :)

Heh!  Yes, it could be updated at the end of 2019.  It really was a simple 
fix once I found out what to do.

If you have time, just point them to the Chowdanet web site.  I posted a way 
to do it.  The link is on the main page.

When I have time, I will also post it on the FIDO Sysop echo.  I hope it can 
help the other Wildcat users.

There is also a message in one of the local areas on Chowdanet
explaining how he managed the fix.   :)

Hope this helps!   :)
