- When you eg. start a demo or an old game or something that crashes the
- computer, it sometimes happens that the clock has been set to some kind
- of maniac's time and/or date. Sometimes it can't be read at all.
-
- Normally, at this point, you won't notice that the clock isn't right, so
- you'll just go on saving files, copying files etc. When you realize that
- the clock is wrong, you set the clock, BUT.., all files that you have
- changed will have the wrong date. This might not look that important, but
- sometimes when you want to know which file is newer than another, you
- will have big trouble finding out the real dates.
-
- But if you use ClockCheck, this will happen:
-
- When you boot the computer, clockcheck will compare the date against the
- old date that was saved the last time you booted (ran ClockCheck).
- If the current date is older than the saved date OR the current date is
- the same / too much newer than the saved date, ClockCheck will put up
- a requester telling you what's wrong.
-
- When the requester pops up you will see the (computer's) current date.
- Now you should check if the date is the same as the real date.
- If the date was right, just click 'RIGHT', otherwise click 'WRONG'.
-
- If you clicked 'RIGHT', the date will be saved to the file and the computer
- will continue the boot procedure as usual.
-
- If you clicked 'WRONG', then this will happen;
-
- The date will NOT be saved to the datefile.
- The program will end with a WARN code.
-
- If you want, the time-prefs program will pop up, allowing you to adjust the
- date and time.
