not the door... the BlueWave _Reader_ that the users use... it munges the
outbound messages because of its y2k bug... i made mention of the doors
because they could be adjusted slightly to handle this on their end instead
of the users all having to get the available "patch" and apply
it... most users are oblivious whereas responsible sysops aren't...


i believe the doors are ok but can't speak reliably on them... i took all
mine off system some years back due to lack of use and problems when
arranging the message areas in logical sequences with autoadded/autoremoved
areas...
