Re: ADT Check Update for July 2000-- fixes ADT.CC check

[Phoenyx <quazar@dcnet2000.com>]

The only real Y2K problems with P8 are external routines which
use dates for sorting and of course, Appleworks which has a date
and time function. I very seldom use AW or sort my files by date
and have very little Y2K problems.

The other Y2K problem I remember was someone who wanted an
incremental backup which was based on dates. My fix was to
use my moddate utils to set the dates to 01-01-00 and perform
a completely new backup of everything. This way any new
incremental backups should work fine. Personally, when I make
backups, it is either a few files or I copy the whole image
to my PC.

So.... I really have very little Y2K worries. Perhaps it's
because my 2c had no clock so ProDos was very similar to
Dos 3.3 in this respect and I learned to live without it.

or at least interesting.
