Short: Y2k patch (fix) for MailManager v1.22x '030 version Author: DenJS Uploader: Craig Hutchison (chotch tig com au) Type: comm/mmgr Requires: comm/mmgr/mmgr-030_122up.lha Architecture: m68k-amigaos The enlosed patchfile was written to overcome the Y2k bug that MM suffers from. This is the authors fifth patchfile and so far the most stable. The files are respectively... MM.pch 7908 bytes The Y2K fix patch. README.TXT 1766 bytes These instructions spatch 14636 bytes The executable which will apply the patchfiles I have patched my copy of MM and done quite a deal of testing that has shown nothing but positive results, including the dates added to ticks both tossed by MM and generated locally. The patch is designed to work on MailManager v1.22x '030 which has a file size of 305,040 I have found another copy of MM at this size on which the patch WILL NOT work. If when trying to update your copy of MM, the spatch executable reports you have the wrong version, the correct version can be found on Aminet. ftp://ftp.uni-paderborn.de/pub/aminet/comm/mmgr/mmgr-030_122up.lha To apply the patch, make a copy of MM in the same directory as the two files included with this text. (MM.pch and spatch) Keep a copy of your original binary in MM:Bin as MM.orig in case things don't quite work out. Next, open a shell window and CD to the directory containing the three files. Enter the command "spatch mm" and you will shortly find a copy of MM.new (size 304,592) is built in your working dir. From here, it's simply a matter of copying MM.new back across to MM:bin/MM and restarting MailManager. I'd like to thank the author for the work he's put into this. I've put quite a deal of work into my own Y2k patches, but this should make all my work obsolete, for which I'm extremely grateful.
