Re: RE Comply & Year 2000
Pete,
I missed the first part of this thread; however, a better year 2000 test
is to set the computer clock for 2355 on 31 Dec 1999. Run the program with
a limited number of isotopes. Turn the computer off for ten minutes and
turn it back on. The date should have incremented correctly. Run the
program again with a limited number of isotopes. Then do the same thing
but change the time/date to 2355 31 Dec 2000. Programs with Year 2000
problems will have diffucilty handling those time/date transitions.
