I work in the Technical Publications department for a major airline. When we generate new and/or modified manuals, based on manufacturer guidelines, we need to have them available to everyone who uses the manual so that they all go into effect the same time, normally at midnight on the effective date. By comparing both dates, I can always insure a link to the correct manual will be made.
