if you have the proper binary for your BBS, yes, there may very well be...
my system contains a patch and easily followed instructions to correct the
y2k bug in the C library used in the door and the reader... they are
contained in my BLUEWAVE file area... i've loosely tested the patch by
manually patching the RA version of the door... everything was found as the
patch scripts and readme state and the manual hex editing of the binary was
no problem... TTBOMK, everything works as desired and i've not seen any
mention of problems from those who use my system's offline capabilities who
choose to use the BW door (if i still have it online)...
