Is this a draw?

I probably would have played on, but would it have been a waste of everyone's time? Thanks for any advice!

I do believe that it is a draw. :) Opposite color bishops do make things difficult to find a victory for either side. Even though white does have the extra pawn on c4, it cannot advance without being captured until the white king comes all the way over to help out. But then I think black can just set up a blockade on a dark square with his/her king or bishop. :)
It's a simple book draw.
My Rykba shows it to be a draw, but still rates the position as +.56 unless at some point white forces the h-pawn to promotion but I lost interest 60 moves into the calculation.
From my point of view, yes it is :)
Unless one of you played a bad move, or blundered the game it shud be drawn.
Fritz agrees with me - after 10 minuts of analysis.
a draw against 1750? Kudos!
