I don't know about the operating systems used by the other simulators but MPE V (used by the HP3000 simulator) is not Y2K compliant.
Is it possible to have a built-in variable, possibly called something like %DATE_YY_DIF%, that holds the difference between %DATE_19XX_YY% and the actual year as held by the host operating system? For example, %DATE_19XX_YY% is returning the value 91 for this year. In this case %DATE_YY_DIF% would hold 28 which is the difference. %DATE_YY_DIF% could then be used to translate dates from internal (simulator) to external (user) by adding the value to the internal year. Translation from external to internal is just a matter of subtracting the value from the external year. The need for this request would disappear if the HP3000 simulator could not use it. David, is it possible to set a JCW with this value when a session starts? _______________________________________________ Simh mailing list Simh@trailing-edge.com http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh
