For crying out loud people! Give it a rest.
I just ran the system year out to 2040 for a quick test, and the Protel99SE software starts and runs just fine. I don't have the time to do a year-by-year test, but it isn't rocket science. I might add that a well known email program crashed with the 2040 date, and a couple of other business programs wouldn't start - but the Protel software fired right up.
Thank you VERY much. 2040 sounds good enough to me! We may not even be making
PC boards in 2040, if we're even still alive then!
I've run Protel software since the DOS days, and I've had every version they've published - including beta versions. NONE have ever had a time bomb. IF there is a date that the software doesn't work, I'm very sure that it will be found to be Microsoft related, and not Protel related.
Yeah, it may be the guy with the 2054 date may have caused a MicroSoft product to
fail to work, not Protel!
(I had nightmares that on Jan 1, 2005, it wouldn't work anymore. Now I can get some sleep!)
