BW-Y2K.zip is the file that has the binary patch.  Dale's was BWrepfix,
most recent one I have is BWRF062.zip...  

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

Piggybacking on this...  lately, it's been rather hard to get onto the
bbs by telnet...  I'm usually getting a timeout... and even when I get
on, I've been being timed out (apparently) in the middle of reading
messages or playing Scrab... everything just stops, and then I'm
apparently dumped off... except that when I try getting back on, the bbs
still thinks i'm logged in on the original node for a while...  It
doesn't happen every time, but it's been very frequent lately... I also
know that Dave has been experiencing difficulties getting on, too...
