subject: BW y2k fix update

NB> I have a slightly amended version of Richard's BW-Y2K.ZIP file. 
 NB> Basically the only difference is that he rewrote the readme.txt to
 NB> be more helpful to the one trying to use the reader/door fixes. 
 NB> I'd like to u/l it to Waldo's Place, but I didn't know how the bbs
 NB> would handle something with the same name...  would it think it was
 NB> a duplicate file? 

if i leave the file(s) in the inbound like they are now, yes, they would be
duplicates...

 NB> Let me know how I should handle this...  thanks... :)

actually, it may be nice(r?) to give them a version number and increment it
each time there's a change... (???) i haven't dug into them enough to try
the procedure on the BW-RA door but might consider working toward that
end... but i don't have a registered version... it seems that it might also
be possible to clear that hurdle as well as the protection checking on the
executable(s) since the author is long gone (???) but i don't know how that
would be viewed by the constabulary... of course, that also depends on how
deep the rev. coder wants or is willing to dig in to the existing stuff...

i can say that something similar has been done with the "default"
fidonet nodelist management tool... some folk in europe
"decompiled" it to ASM code and then fixed it up as needed... now
there's a new compilation with fixes of that much needed util...

 NB> ... May the forces of evil become confused on their way to your
 NB> doorstep.. 

no doubt!! i need all the help i can get from them! ;) O:)
