This program was written for all those who have antiquated DOS machines and
are unsure that the Millinium "glitch" will have an effect on the filing
system. The program assures that the changeover from the year 1999 to the
year 2000 is accomplished by the system clock. It will have no other effect
than to slow your computer clock by approximately one second (depending on
the speed of your processor).
The program reads the date and time, resets it to 12-31-1999 and 23:59:59, and
waits for the change. If the change reports the year 2000, it reports that
you need not worry, otherwise, it tells you that you need a corrective
program (Millnium.exe). The program then resets the date and time as it was.
*** I suggest that you set the date and time to 1-1-2000, shut down the computer
(usual procedure, then turn it off completely), wait 15 seconds or more, then
reboot. This will show if the date will be held in the bios. If it's not the same as
when you turned off the computer, you definately need the Milnium.exe file called
from the Autoexec.bat file on boot-up. ***
Freely circulate the program, but keep the text file with it so the user can
refer to it. --- Walt Kalisty ---
