Hello Dan, I wish you a nice day!
JP> The dates are all ok.
DC> That, and the TO: field. I think there was a problem there, too.
The To: mangled field was due to the Y2K problem. BW was
programmed with a small loop that added one to the year but when
it hit 99 + 1=100 that made it three digits and it moved all
characters over by one place. That was the Y2K fault.
DC> The big question now is in how you d/l your mail from DOCS.
I use telnet. I am on cable here at 100 bps, this does not
affect the year-date in BW. Thanks to Dale S., it has been
solved by a small app that extracts the date from the system
clock, I think, and corrects the Y2K dooeekie in BW.
DC> I'm sure JohnjWilson would like to know!
I do not knwo who he is. You tell him.
