    Unless Kevin is running the Telegard door, there is probably not
    a Y2K-patched EXE for his BW door.
    I was under the impression that there were; my bad. However, I've understood people to go in and fix the Y2K problem with a hex editor though.
    Yep, I've heard that rumor too...but didn't find the documented
    problem byte sequence in any of my distribution door EXEs...3.1x or
    3.2x versions, DOS or OS/2 flavors. If somebody has successfully
    patched one, I'd sure like to know which one and a chance to
    experiment with it.

    Look for BW-Y2K.ZIP at Waldo's Place USA in his BW files area. The TG
    door is successfully patched as are the readers. And the instructions
    for doing it to any other BW door are in the ZIP.

    Been there, done that. The instructions did not help for any of the 4 Maximus BlueWave doors' executables I tried them for. The byte sequence to search for is not found.

    I'll try to remember that... ;) Other than Holodeck, the first place
    where it was widely available was Waldo's, so that's the one I tend to remember.... :)
