Hello Mark.




 ML> What's up with the date on your computer?  Or is it something on
 ML> the BBS you're using?  2034?!

 ml> it is a y2k bug that appears to originate in the bbs software
 ml> running on the system that paul uses... 

I suspected as much.

 ml> inquiries in that direction indicate that that operator would 
 ml> likely just leave the net rather than going thru software 
 ml> changes... i've been watching this (via pktdate y2k repair 
 ml> software) since the turn of the century ;(

Actually, I run Ernst's pktdate.  I happened to be watching some of Paul's
posts and was wondering about the peculiar dates.  So I wrote using the
uncorrected date. Pktdate's never failed to correct to faulty dates.

 ml> if you can't find it locally, it is available via my site...
 ml> everything is operational except POTS connections... if your system
 ml> can do fido via telnet, then you should be able to freq it
 ml> easily...

It's been on my system since its release.  Thanks anyway!

Be well, Mark!

Best regards,
Marc

... The nice thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from.
