    From Neil Williams@39:136/1 to All on Fri Oct 9 21:07:55 2026
    Hi all,

    While working on Zeus's Bluewave door (Phoenix), I realised that I was given AmyBW to work on, many years ago! I've done a load of bug fixes to it and added TZUTC kludge support.

    I don't suppose anyone out there uses it and would like to beta test?

    The last release was 2.16. 2.17 was unreleased - I made a few small fixes around
    2002. This is now v2.18.

    I'll get it uploaded to AmiNet when I'm more confident in it.

    Regards,
    Neil.

    The TZUTC kludge seems correct on this one! ;-)


    Bye, Wilfred.

    Yep, and honestly it is only there because of your question on it a while
    ago. I wasn't really aware of it until then.

    The kludge above actually comes from Zeus (a 1.9 feature). AmyBW can read and interpret it, but the BlueWave standard forbids adding kludges so the BBS is responsible for adding it.

    Support is upcoming in Zeus 1.9 - reading to TZ differences on screen, and adding to new messages.

    All three Fido apps I'm now working on have full TZUTC support.
