The BW Reader IS y2k compliant. But QWK packets that many people use are
Not. There was a BWREPFIX program out a while back that would hack the date
to make it at least look kind of right, but the QWK format itself is not
y2k compliant. This is undoubtedly something I'll have to deal with when I
finish my BW/QWK code for EleBBS.
