    Hi Dale -- on Jan 12 2010 at 23:07, you wrote:

    My patch was designed as a bandaid for fixing the BlueWave QWK Reply packages by the user prior to uploading them to a BBS. It is
    possible that you could somehow write a batch file to run it against
    the REP packages uploaded to your BBS before you process their
    messages, but I had never tested that nor heard of anyone who used
    it in that way.

    Also, my patch did nothing with replies for the native Bluewave
    reply packets -- only the ones made while replying to QWK packets.

    Ahh -- so I just run the "normal" BW and let the user deal with Y2K issues? I can handle that. :-)

    I don't know what problems the BW door had or has. Sorry.

    NP -- thanks for the feedback (as well as for all your work for the users!)

    Cheers... Dallas

    Perhaps, but I do seem to recall that the door had some problems also.
    I've not used a Bluewave door in more than a decade. I use QWK packets
    with the BW reader.

    I don't know what problems the BW door had or has. Sorry.

    You're welcome.
