Y2K and the BBS Community

This section is dedicated to informing everyone on what is happening concerning the y2k bug in software programs and hardware that are used in the BBS community. At BWM, we are trying to compile a complete list of all software used in BBS world. This list will inform you wether it is y2k compliant or not, which version are or are not. We can NOT do this all alone, we will be depending on various inputs and verified submisions given by everyone at the BWM web site. The lists will be published in every issue of BWM until issue #1 of 2000, it will also be published periodicly in ALT.BBS, ALT.BBS.SYSOP newsgroups as will in the BBSWORLD.NEWS and BBSWORLD.SOFTWARE echoes in BWMnet. (more frequently in the echoes)
If a program is NOT listed here that you use, you'd better look into seeing if it'll work properly after the year 2000, please send us your results. Thank you.
