Earlier this year I reported a bug in ARexx's date()-function to Bill Hawes
and he kindly replied to me and said that he is preparing a patch to the
rexx library which should correct this and some other bugs. He promised to
send this patch to comp.binaries.amiga as well as BIX. Nevertheless, this patch
hasn't showed up in here. BTW, in a recent letter he said that his usenet-
connection has dried up - this might be the cause for its non-appearance.

Now I must ask all you with a BIX-access if it has been posted there. If so,
how could I get it? Well, I could always ask Bill himself for the patch, but
I think this patch is not too improtant - if I can get it by email, I'll
be satisfied, but it's not worth sending disks across the Atlantic. Anyway,
the bugs are minor and haven't bothered me too much.

PS. If you are curious about the date()-bug, try setting the system date to
Newyear's eve (Dec 31) and checking what date() returns. Amusing, isn't it.
