Looks good.  Which Y2K fix did you use?  There are two out there.  The
bandaid I wrote which encircles BlueWave with a batch file to correct
the Y2K headers, and another one which actually patches the executable directly.

IMO, the second version is a much better solution and easier to
implement.

Look at the Wiki article on BlueWave.  It mentions both, but does not
give links.  I believe that one of the Mark(c) Lewis has both on his web
site and maybe he will jump in to give you a pointer.  It that does not
happen quickly -- get back to me and I will dig up the links for you.
