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. |
