Many systems will work fine with either 'negative' or 'smaller dates' but crash, burn, etc when running when the counter wraps around. I would suggest setting the test date to -N minutes before wrap over to run a first set of tests, and then N minutes after the wrap to run a second set of tests. This would hopefully catch programs which are worse off. Stephen J Smoogen. Let us be kind to one another, for most of us are fighting a hard battle. -- Ian MacClaren |
