                         AllClear 2000 Pro  V2.6

The purpose of the program.

This program checks any PC for Y2K (Year 2000) hardware compliance.

 Installation

Simply run the included file : ac2000x.exe
This program will require a floppy disk in Drive A:. It need not be formatted,
but it must be 1.44M. That is all.

Then reboot on the generated floppy.

Put the floppy in, and boot the program up. Then run all the tests (the first
option on the menu). Have a look at the printed results the program has
generated (if you like). If you are running the program at a remote location,
simply send the floppy back to your headquarters/IT people. Simple as that!

Because it is a bit pointless giving a pass or fail grade (we have not found a
machine yet that passes everything!  ie, Level 4), we provide you with a
graded compliance level.

The compliance levels we use are :
0 - RTC not fitted, or could not be found, or some tests have not been done.

1 - RTC, BIOS & DOS not compliant
2 - RTC & BIOS not compliant, DOS ok
3 - RTC not compliant, BIOS and DOS ok.
4 - RTC, BIOS & DOS Fully compliant, everything works.

Once you get a compliance level, you are offered a short discussion on what
this may mean to you. But you really need to look at the Detailed report to
see the complete ramifications for your particular situation. You might be
able to live with a Level 2 compliance if you are only running non date
specific software. You could even use a Level 0 compliant system if the
applications you were using it for were totally non date related..


This program is shareware : the fully registered version is AUD$49.95 for 10
tests.
