 BL> I've been using BlueWave (BW) for DOS for years. It works fine in a VDM

It is my understanding that the installation of a =fix= on your end will
take care of the BW QWK problem for YOUR msgs. That fix is:

BWRF062.ZIP   37,155  99-10-23  BWREPFIX .62á make BlueWave .QWK OK for Y2K

It was distributed recently via the Filebone, UTILNET FDN. You should be
able to find it on any BBS that caters to DOS utils, as that FDN is one
of the important distr's of DOS utils. If you find yourself with no
other source, my Origin below has it:

Good Modeming!  /\oo/\
