Reasons for the GTS V2.2.0 Yr 2000 Enhancement:
•
The purpose for this enhancement is to provide both GTS and the SCO Xenix operating
system support for the year 2000 and beyond.
•
The year 2000 fix in GTS V2.2.0 Patch 5 did not include the SCO Xenix year 2000 fixes
and was therefore not a complete year 2000 update. You must load this enhancement to
have full GTS and SCO Xenix support.
Problems addressed in this enhancement:
•
Disk 1 of 2 of the GTS V2.2.0 Yr 2000 Enhancement is actually an SCO Xenix support
supplement disk XNX427C. This support supplement contains updated Xenix binary
files.
•
Disk 2 of 2 of the GTS V2.2.0 Yr 2000 Enhancement contains files needed to correct
problems found in the GTS software with handling of the year 2000 and general problems
experienced while setting the date.
Both disk 1 and 2 address the following problems:
•
The "year 2000" problem
Setting any date from January 1, 2000 on actually sets the year to 1970 instead.
•
The "leap year" problem
Setting the time on the TMS controller to February 29, 2000 will actually set the date to
March 1, 2000 instead.
•
System Errors while setting the date
When changing the date backward while logged into an off-line network, system errors
occur. When these errors appear, you are then denied access to all networks.
