AP>The final "clock fix" suggested by GWREP Steve was to use a patch for

Hi Anne..........
I'm definately interested in this patch - I used to run geos and my bbs
on the same computer, under windows...so obviously i couldn't have
geos's errors messing with the time clock on the bbs.....[callers loved
it though before i figured out what was going on...time never went
anywhere......people had like hours and hours on my bbs...]]
however, i'm not on AOL. Any way I can get it elsewhere?
thanks,
Jay Fuller
