About
Retrospect International 2.0 (and possibly other old Retrospect versions) has a Y2K-Plus-One bug. The symptom is that after the beginning of the year 2001 the program, on launch, says "Your Macintosh clock/calendar appears to be wrong", and asks you to either Quit or to Set Clock. The reason is that the code contains a date sanity check which is set to treat as wrong any system clock time after 23:59:59 on 2000-December-31. This patch, for Retrospect International 2.0 (2.0i) only, extends the date sanity check for an additional 39 years or so. The ReadMe file gives details that can be used (with ResEdit) to help fix other Retrospect versions that exhibit this bug.
