Today, oct. 15th, this echo brought me messages dated back to aug. 28th.
I have not seen any traffic in the time between those dates.

I did patch the various PCBOARD.EXE's for the day-of-week of the Events
and also have uploaded that to this echo. That requires you to hex-edit
the executable. I should have the description somewhere.

Another patch was to allow the continued use of the PCBoard v15.4 beta.
That was uploaded by the main PCBoard programmer st Clark Development.
That one also required the hex editing of the exe file.

There are also third-party programs to correct the year entries in the
Download.txt file.

I have all the programs and text files saved on diskettes but couldn't
at the moment find the patching instructions for the day-of-week.

I did upgrade to v15.3 but had to go back to v15.22 because of a bug
in the 15.3 release.

Have a nice day,

Holger
