Dale, top of the morning to you !  

        First, Dale, I have to thank you for BWRF, it kept me going on
    BW for all these years, until Richard came along and would ahve
    kept me going anyway. I think that his fix is more to the point
    and yours was a valid circumvention of the Y2K bug.

 DS> There are a couple of differences.   When you are using my
 DS> wrap-around program, the date times on your replies are mangled
 DS> *WHILE* you are reading them in your reply packet.

        Yes, I had noticed this before as your .txt had mentioned it.
    It was no problem if one kept in mind that the closing of the .rep
    would see this corrected. It did.

 DS> Also, when you finally upload your reply messages to the BBS, they
 DS> will have a date/time based on when you last closed that REP packet
 DS> *and* each reply will have a time which is one minute after the
 DS> previous one.

        Smart ! I had never noticed this.

 DS> In this packet you had three messages in this echo.   The time stamp
 DS> between the first and second was two minutes.   Hence I don't think
 DS> you were using my wrap-around program.

        Let me state again : Smart ! I am so remote from programming
    that my mind does not see these. I went to Richard's solution more
    or less as a curiousity. The end result is the same for the
    average user. My hat is off to both of you.
     
       
...    No matter what, no NNTP.
...         Telnet is great !
