Nah, just curious - don't expect much problem with linux but if there's a
problem with any apps we'll have to have it fixed before everyone else, of
course. I do have a win95 partition but I hardly ever boot it anymore.

Oh yeah... that's Eudora, eh? But 01/01/00 doesn't really matter if they
deal with it properly internally, eh? If I start screwing things up for people,
I'll desist. If your INBOX is sorted by date is it the simulated sent date
or the recieved? If it's the simulated date and it sorts old, you have
a problem, I guess. But it looks like pine sorts by recieved.
Oops here we go - Happy Simulated New Year. Time to go poking around my
desktop... looks ok so far.
Here's a confused environment canada webpage:
http://weatheroffice.com/scripts/generator.pl?Alert_WLT
"Your Time: Sat, 01 Jan 19100 | UTC Time: Fri, 01 Jan 19-1800"
How do they get "Your Time" - from Netscape or what? Since it seems
confused in a different way with Your Time and UTC Time could Netscape have
a Y2K bug here? Anyone suggest a little javascript or something to test it?
Or maybe it's a javascript bug, I know nothing about js but looking at their
script I see:
localYear = local.getYear()
Is that a builtin function or what?
Then they get their string with
... "19" + localYear ... and
... "19" + UTCDate.getYear() ...
Any other test suggestions? For linux apps, I mean - don't want to get way
off topic.
Oh, here we go - first linux app problem is with FileRunner or maybe tcl-tk.
Touched a file and got:
VVV
y2k.test 0 1000101 02:48:41 rw-r--r-- root/root

Y2k simulation in progress... all systems nominal.
