Michael,

You probably saw this information. In fact, knowing you, it's probably 
where you derived your patch, but I'm going to post it anyway

Greetings.

  8.4 My local BBS has installed a new version of the door, and now I can no
      longer use AmyBW 2.11 (Amiga Blue Wave reader) to read my packets! Can
      anybody help?

  This patch by Stephen Marsden will make AmyBW 2.11 ignore the packet
  revision level:

  Use a file editor such as NewZap or Zap.
  Goto location 26982 and you should see the digits $55006726.
  Change the $55 to $42 so you should now have $42006726.
  Save the file and away you go.

     I hope this helps those who were looking for the fix.

I kept this because I thought AmyBW was the cream of the offline 
readers, til Thor came along. As an offline BW/QWK reader, Thor gives 
much greater flexibility. 8^)
