Two things here...  Apparently there was, a long time ago, a fix done
for the Maximus Bluewave door.  Juxtaposition BBS is a Maximus board
also, and has had a working BW door for as long as I've known of it.
Perhaps your sysop should contact that sysop to get the Maximus fix.
Secondly, the BW-Y2K.zip package includes the batch files that hubby
used to fix the ones he did.  And, as I understand it, one has to
actually be able to set up the doors in a bbs-like environment to do the
fix; something that isn't easily accomplished here.

OH, and a third thing...  the patched reader has a few other things
fixed in it besides just the 07james bug that Dale's repfix zaps, as the
fix goes a little deeper into the "why" it was happening.  If you are
using a real BW door, and/or getting the actual BW packets, Dale's fix
wasn't even needed, as it was just for the reps for QWK packets.  There
were a few other places where the date problem was also making minor
problems... these showed up in the reader whatever one was using, and
they are also fixed with the new patched reader.

 JB> ... Every Silver lining has a cloud inside.

Hmmm....  I'd've thought the cloud was outside, or how could the Silver
be a lining?    Yeah, I know... literal, literal...  

ttyl            neb

... Change is inevitable ... except from vending machines.
