The patches are pretty simple, just line replacements, and the second one
(the ltod() one) is a semi-bogus hack that could blow up other parts of the
nntpd if anyone ever adds additional calls to ltod() that assumed a
6-character output string (I changed its interface from 6-character output
to 8-character output) but other than that, the changes seem OK.
Yeah, I'll post them somewhere on Usenet if somebody else hasn't already
beat me to it. I already posted them here on this thread earlier, although
they're more in a "follow-along" form than a simple "point and click without
having to think" form.

Hmm, is there a CNews newsgroup? I don't think so (as such). Now that you
mention it, I think there's a BNews newsgroup, and that's what's used for
CNews. I should have checked there in November or December for potential
Y2K problems.
BTW, here's another bit of data to corroborate the fact that 2000 is indeed
a leap year:

That's in agreement, more or less, with things I've heard before, and it's
in agreement with two separate implementations of the Unix 'cal' program, so
I'm 99.999% satisifed on that issue for now.
