Bluewave stuff must all be patched for y2k... doors and clients... without
the patch, there will be random numbers in the To and/or From fields... the
problem is the two digit year is calculated by subtracting 1900 from the
current year... that gives a value greater than 99... they don't ensure
that the returned value is only two digits aka result := mod(result,100)...
it is an overlooked flaw that stems from doing math calcs on the year
instead of string work with substr...

there's two ways to handle the y2k problem... neither is official and never
can be... the preferred one, true patch of binaries, is at the very top of
the page... the other one is mainly user-side but can be run on the BBS
side... it is down in the 3rd section of the files list... it is not a
patch but a glue program used when the file is (un)zipped...

OLMS stopped working properly over here... when it would shell to zip up
the files to send to the user, it would stop with some weird sort of memory
allocation error... looks to me to be maybe an indicator of a pirated copy
but the reg key is the free one...
