Starting before 2000 I used qpage, and the scheduling in it was never 
y2k compliant, so I patched it with a work-around.  I provided the patch 
to Thomas Dwyer III, but he never updated his site for reasons unknown 
to me.

I later emailed him asking whether he would consider releasing the 
license to be maintained by others.  And that received no answer either.

Attached find a .src.rpm I last updated in December 2002 with the patch 
and spec file which I wrote, and the unaltered qpage-3.3.tar.Z 
sufficient to build the patched qpage.  I have not attempted to use it 
recently, but I did verify minutes ago that "rpmbuild --rebuild 
qpage-3.3-1.src.rpm" still successfully builds a qpage rpm which does 
install, on FC5.
