I didn't have that problem this year on my WC4MLP so I guess mine is set
to something else but I would still like a copy of the program for
future use. You can send it to me at:  sysop@techware2k.com

Do you make a netmail door for WC5? PXW OUTbound Netmail isn't working
for me and some others.

Thanks.

-> Hi folks...

-> I had an experience today I thought I would share with you.

-> When logging into Wildcat! v4.20 this morning, I received some netmail
-> messages and was replying to one which sent me off to ViaADDR!, the
-> netmail 'door' which happily allowed me to accept the reply address.

-> Upon recycling back to the BBS, Wildcat! detected I was out of time
-> and promptly kicked me off stating I had exceeded my time limit.
-> Obviously that wasn't the case (I had only been on a few minutes) so the
-> whole thing sounded way too familiar.

-> So I ran up my PATCHWC v3.00 program and checked the Epoch date on the
-> WILDCAT.EXE and sure enough, it was set for 1919.  Since today is the
-> first day of 2019, this was the exact reason PATCHWC.EXE was created
-> for.

-> So I ran up PATCHWC.EXE and changed the Epoch date to 1930 and ran it
-> against Wildcat!'s executables.  Subsequent attempts at replying to
-> netmails in Wildcat! were now successful and life is good.

-> Long story short, if you run DOORs (of any kind) and have not patched
-> your Wildcat! EXEs, or if your Epoch date was set to 1919 (as was mine),
-> then you'll need to run PATCHWC against it and use at least 1920 as the
-> Epoch date.  If you need a copy of the program (it's free), let me know
-> and I'll make it available for you.

-> Regards,

-> Joe Martin
