And Rubywand responded with:

    " That is a shame. Does the sysop say how the Y2k dating problem is messing
up the BBS-- like, are we talking about BBS software or ProDOS or ... ? 
Perhaps someone here could suggest fixes."

To which I reply: No, the sysop didn't relate any more on it than I posted
about.
But, hey, if anybody knows of any solution to the problem (Norman - are you
able to read this thread/post and respond on anything concerning it?) then
please post your solutions, suggestions, etc.  Perhaps the problem can be fixed
and the BBS can continue.  I guess...as Marvin so often says to me - we shall
see.

Cheers,
Tom
