Comments: Rainbow Echomail from RUDIE SLAUGHTER    Read: YES

On or about September 17, 1989, the GOLD-Date&Time function in WPS versions
1.2 (and earlier) for Rainbow ceased to function correctly. The day-of-the-wee
calculation no longer works.  It is stuck on Sunday or else outputs a garbage
string for the day of the week or else geenrates a string too long error
message and dumps back to the menu.  I presume that there is an integer overfl
error somewhere in the day-of-the-week algorithm caused by Sept. 17 being
32K days beyond some historical date.  Does anybody know of a fix for this
bug? Is DEC interested?

Yes, I know that there are newer versions of WPS out.  However, our site
never updated because of deficiencies in the communication scripting capabilit
of the newer versions.  We have also failed to maintain a current software
maintainence and support contract with DEC, so your help would be greatly
appreciated.

And yes, We know everyone else is using Word Perfect. However, our VAX site
has never upgraded and we retained WPS on the Rainbows for compatibility.
