- I've been using Protext V5.0 for some time now and wouldn't change it for
- anything but it does have one annoying problem. It can't cope with Leap
- Years.
-
- After 29th Feb on a Leap year, the insert date feature inserts tomorrow's
- date i.e. the correct date +1 day.
-
- The last time this happened (four years ago, oddly enough ;) I did not own a
- Hard Drive and ran Protext from floppies. ISTR that I got round the problem
- by inserting the Dos command "Date Yesterday" into the Protext
- startup-sequence but if I do that now on my Sys:s/startup-sequence, it will
- throw the date out on all my other applications.
-
- Any ideas please.
