}so... the question:
}I'd like to park something on the desktop that would set the system date
}to..say... Feb 9 1999... with a click.
}In DOS, it was easy to set the date with a simple batch file... not so
}easy in W9x.
}Any suggestions out there..??

Place the following one line in a .BAT file. Just drop it on
your desk top some place:
DATE 02-09-1999
Yes, double-click on that line will cause the batch file, and the
one command, to run in a DOS session. BUT, it will reset the date.
Another option is to create a link to a DOS program or batch
file. (This will be on disk as a .PIF file, though I have been unable to
get file manager to show the .PIF) Then right-click >> Properties and
change the command line to:
command.com /c date 02-09-1999
Then you can set the other options on the other tabs as needed
(exclusive mode would be good for this one) before clicking Apply then
OK.
Again, it runs in a DOS session, but will not need another file
for "properties", as it will all be in that file.
Any more detail as to what happens in the program after Y2K?
FYI: Juno 1.49 has a minor Y2K problem, but only in the screen
display for dates. (It shows 102 as the two digit version of this year.)

}Sorry, you'll need a double click.
Depending on the configuration of his desk top, a single click
may work.
