 JP> Yes, 99 was accrued to 100 but a digit was dropped ???

Apparently, the digit was still there somewhere, but not displayed...
and that was part of the problem the reader (and replies) were having.

And apparently, fixing that so the significant one showed, fixed a lot
of other things that also had some connection to that.  :)

 JP> Can can tell Richard on my behalf, that I think he is fine.

I did that.  :)

Somehow I doubt any of us will be around for that date...  and DOS is
set to die earlier than that, too... also the library on which BW is
built, IIRC.  Of course, by that time, maybe there can be fixes for that
too...??

ttyl        neb

... AHA!!! I've finally got this ficts, fics, fixd...sigh.
