I need some QWK Mail Door for ELE BBS and I remembered this sw.

the main problem you are going to run into is y2k related... the door
has y2k problems as do the clients... there is a patch available on my system in the bluewave files area that you might be able to apply to
fix the y2k date problem...

I remember that I used BW-Y2K fix or something like that. I will look at your BBS and try to find.


Thank you very much

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...

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 :)

That is true. First, I logged on your BBS and downloaded Filelist. Then I tried FREQ Nodelist (without extension) for test download and result is already know.

Anyway, thank you for your help. I search the Filelist and download the necessary.

NODELIST is a majik name for the nodelist on my system... it should have sent you the latest one i have but it didn't for some as yet unknown reason...

Anyway, thank you for your help. I search the Filelist and download
the necessary.

not a problem... good luck and i hope it works... when i tested it, it seemed to work as desired in both the door and the client... i had to manually do the door i tested but i had to take it down because it was not compatible with the data file structures in this beta RA system...

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

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...

Having used both, and being closely related to the author of one, it's
pretty easy for me to keep them apart.. ;)

There is also a key generator for OLMS I can't put my hands on it at
moment but it works nicely too.

i got everything i have from peter's site... i'm not sure the key generator is generating valid keys, though... my OLMS has been down for a while and i don't know if it is the code being executed from the keygen or what but the reaction is very similar to what i'd do and have done in my software to thwart fake keys... it may be a problem with the date stuff, though...
