yeah, i think that is the original add-on fix that dale shipp put out... it
replaces your zip command with a script to run which fixes the rep before it
is uploaded...

there is a binary patch that's available now, though... it actually patches
the C runtime stuff related to the time and date so that it doesn't return
greater than 100 for years 2000 and up...

explanation: the library writers took a short cut and simply subtract the
current year from the base year which gives three digit results now... before
y2k, 1999 returned 99... then 2000 returned 100 which caused the problem
because other authors didn't check the length and trim the result to use only
the last two characters...

 MR> I will look at your BBS and try to find.

i saw a FREQ from you for NODELIST which failed for some reason... i'll have
to look and see if i can figure out how it arrived and why one of the allfixes
didn't process it correctly... hopefully you've been able to find the file you
needed for bluewave :)
