 NB> If you are talking about Richard's patch, 

we are... i've just been mum on the author's name and relationship ;)

 NB> he didn't do anything with os/2, not having it available here.  

right... i just don't recall if i did anything with it, though... i did
manually do the patch on the RA version of the client and it seemed to be
ok but it is too old for the version of RA i'm running... many stats items
are moved and/or added to the dropfiles in the newer version i'm running...
this is also the reason why i have to be very careful on my system what
software i install to run with it... especially since the bbs software is
beta stuff ;)

AFAIK, if all of the clients used the same compiler for the time/date
routines, which are what he patched, then the patch should work on all of
them... even the os/2 one...
