   Hello!

   I proudly present this patch for Proboard 2.16. This patch fixes year 2000
   bugs in this excellent BBS software.

   To patch your Proboard just extract pb216y2k.com to your Proboard system
   directory and run it. To discard changes run "pb216y2k.com /d".

   I think it's not good idea to ask money for bugfixes. Even for not my
   bugs. :-)  But the patch is not free software. It is postcardware. So, if
   you use it and you like it, please send me a postcard:

                  Miha Ulanov
            ul. Planernaya 53-2-270
                 St.Petersburg
                 RUSSIA 197373

   Please, write message on this postcard manually and don't forget to mention
   your Fidonet or/and email address...



   If your Proboard works improperly after this fix or it still has bugs
   please inform me.

   And don't forget about postcard...


Technotes.

1. After applying this patch the year portion of DateType will not be in
   00..99 range. It will be (Current_Year - 1900). For example, the 8-Jan-2001
   will be DateType{8,1,101}.

2. When reading userfile years 00..30 are translated like 2000..2030 and years
   31..99 like 1931..1999. So, when year 2030 comes your Proboard will stop
   working. To change this threshold (30) just change a byte at 00012AB3h in
   proboard.exe and a byte at 0001571Ah in pbutil.exe.
