[ct-user] System Date Error

[Fred W Hoffert]

Bummer, Steve.  I've been unlucky enough to find that the computer has
been set to the wrong date and I think I fixed it like this (assuming you
are using Windows):

1.  Open the "bad" .all file in Wordpad or Notepad
2.  Edit-replace the 6/22 date of your log with the date that should be
the first day date, 6/24.  Be sure to use the exact same date format. 
Now your log will show 6/23 and 6/24.
3.  Edit-replace the 6/23 date of the log with the date that should be
the second day date, 6/25.  Now your log should show the correct dates
(6/24-6/25).
4.  In DOS run R2B (or R2B9, if you are using version 9) on the .all
file.  This will give you a new .bin file.  
5.  Use this new .bin file to merge with the two previously correct files
and you should be set!

I can't claim that this is the easiest way but it should work.  SAVE A
COPY OF YOUR ORIGINAL .BIN FILE IN CASE THIS DOESN'T WORK!!!  I might
need it later.
