Y2K fix for master

[vexorg]

Is there an updated or later MOS for the master that takes care of the Y2K issue?

Here's the patch:

This version includes a Y2K fix (well, it hard-codes the century to 20xx instead of 19xx) https://www.stardot.org.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=27904

It's in my Master and its modular nature has also allowed me to jettison View and ViewSheet.

Thank you, oddly google showed up nothing useful for me.

I've never thought it necessary. I quite like that my Masters think it's 1924.

The only time I fiddle it is when using the TIME$-format string to date-stamp my HTML pages:

Code: Select all

 1550T$=TIME$:IFMID$(T$,12,2)="19" T$=LEFT$(T$,11)+"20"+MID$(T$,14)

Of course, that's not a permanent solution either, it will only work for the next 76 years.

There's also the Doomsday ROM, which is a commercial product. http://www.sprow.co.uk/bbc/doomsday.htm
