Introduction
------------

      CLOKTEST 2000 is a free powerful program that checks your computer for
      date problems that may occur in the year 2000. CLOKTEST 2000 should
      be run on 100% IBM AT compatible computers and should run on 286Mhz to
      300Mhz+ computers. CLOKTEST 2000 and CLOKTEST 2000 Pro comply with
      British Standards Institute PD-2000-1 requirements.

      We cannot afford to give away free software, however our reasoning
      is, if your computer passes all the tests then why should you pay for
      software you will never use again. If your computer fails any tests,
      we would like you to purchase CLOKTEST 2000 Pro. CLOKTEST 2000 Pro
      includes a manual and technical support.

      Essentially, the problem with many computers, including new computers
      is that in the year 2000, DOS will report a date of 1980 or other date.
      And this date will be supplied to all computer applications that use
      the date for calculations. Applications may include accounts packages
      spreadsheets and so on.

      As the 31/12/1999 23:59:59 approaches the computers real time clock
      will be registering the century as 1900. The date should roll over
      to the new century, but the real time clock does not update the
      century field and hence remains at 1900.

      Software repairs or fixes offer the simplest and easiest ways of
      correcting the problem. However for some computers a BIOS upgrade
      may be necessary or flash BIOS patch. If a BIOS upgrade is required
      you should contact your supplier.

      After all the tests have been completed CLOKTEST 2000 generates a
      text file (SUMMARY.TVR) that enables you to read the test information
      and what to do next.

      CLOKTEST 2000 Professional includes 2 levels of protection against
      the date change. We believe we are the only company to offer the dual 
      protection which includes a boot-up date check and a terminate and stay
      resident program, that remains active during the time the computer
      is on, checking the date every few milliseconds. Please see the order
      form for pricing information.


1. Internet Installation
------------------------

  Pre-Installation:
  -----------------      
      If you have downloaded CLOKTEST 2000 over the Internet you should read
      the following steps :-

        i.    Unzip CLOKTEST.ZIP
        ii.   Format a blank disk -> FORMAT A: /s /u
        iii.  Copy all the files from the unzipped CLOKTEST.ZIP file to the
              floppy disk.
        iv.   You now have created a bootable computer clock tester
	v.    See topic 2 for use.	

       (If formatted using Windows 95, it may not be possible to use
       CLOKTEST 2000 on 286 and some 386 based computers.)


2. Floppy Disk Installation
---------------------------

  i.  If running Windows 95 or Windows 3.1 close down the computer and
      place the disk in drive A: and restart your computer.
  ii. Change to drive A: or B: and type CLOKTEST

      CLOKTEST 2000 will now start to test the computer clocks. The computer
      will be restarted automatically to carry out the remaining tests.
      Please follow all on-screen instructions.

  iii.When the tests are completed and you have removed the disk from the
      drive you can re-read the summary report (SUMMARY.TVR). The report
      will give you the tests descriptions and whether your computer passed
      or failed the tests.
