My message to you about this came NEXT in my packet...    Yes, you
should look at it more closely.  Richard put the batchfiles etc in
there particularly for situations like yours... :)

From the readme.txt in the file:
       Batch files used to change executables:
            BW-Y2K16.BAT   with comments for "those who must know..." 
            BW-Y2K32.BAT   with comments...
       Notes:
   1. These fixes were derived in order to get the Telegard door
 working. 
   2. They are minimal C++ library function changes (parts of the
 program are protected against patching/cracking). They should fix any
 Blue Wave executable using the same C++ library.
