| subject: | Fidonet vs Y2K Monster? |
Greetings All, Has there been any proposals in regards to updating / correcting and/or handling this up comming event? It appears there are a number related FTSC file formats that will need to be adjusted to compensate for the short commings. Right off the top of my head, we could take the 2 characters allocated for a year in a *.pkt and calculate the year as hi-byte/lo-byte. I'm not sure what the ramifications are to trying such a move, especially in regards to fidonet software authors (a dying breed to be sure) who impliment their own creative method for dealing with the problem. Comments?
