[NTLK] [NLTK] 2010 bug?

[M.Erickson at brighton.ac.uk]

Dear All,

Thanks for the advice - I've installed the 71J059 patch (it took about 11 attempts) and it's worked! This has saved me from reverting to a paper diary, which would be *so* 20th century.

Mark

http://40hz.org/Pages/Newton%20Year%202010%20Problem discusses the issue
and offers a fix, although there are still some issues (you can try
searching the archives, I haven't installed it yet as my Newton is
mostly a collector's item.)
