287.0. "PW32 -NFT - Year 2000" by NNTPD::"[email protected]" (SAMIE Jacques) Fri May 09 1997 06:09

On Windows95 Client (version 950a - French version)

A file created today has date : 09/05/97
A file created on 2008        : 09/05/08
(The PC is an Hinote CT475 with the correct bios for Year 2000)

Using PW32 and NFT (version 6.0.044) files are seen :
Today 's file                 : 05-09-97
Year2008 's file              : 05-09-108
--------------------------------------------
Any transfert from the PC to a VMS server with the Year2008 file 
ends with <protocol error>
--------------------------------------------

Yes, we are aware of the problem.  The issue is not with NTF, or with NFTW
but within the DAP protocol itself.  It seems that DAP allows for two different
date formats, one binary and one that allows a two digit year code... almost
no one supports the binary date... so we are stuck with the two digit year
for the moment.

This should already have been fixed in v7.0 with NFTW.

(p.s. NFT is not a supported utility for PATHWORKS 32)
287.2New version of NFT ?NNTPD::&quot;[email protected]&quot;SAMIE JacquesMon May 12 1997 05:248
Thanks Jeff,
What do you mean by V7.0. 
I am using the Pathworks 32 NFT the Windows95 version not the DOS.
Is there an NFT version different from the 6.0.044

We supplied NFTW, not NFT

287.4nftw.exe ok, but nft.exe may have y2k issues.JAMIN::TELESETSKYTue May 13 1997 17:319
    
    Within the PW32 kit, there is nftw.exe which -is- fully supported by
    Digital.  This version of nftw.exe has some Year 2000 fixes in it.
    
    Also in the 'nosupprt' directory on the pw32 kit is a nft.exe. This DOS
    version of nft is not supported, but provided as an unsupported utility
    to customers;user beware.  It will have year 2000 related problems.
    
    
287.5NFTW - 6.0.044NNTPD::&quot;[email protected]&quot;SAMIE JacquesWed May 14 1997 08:4210
Okay everybody,
I am using the NFTW.EXE from PW32.
This program displays "Pathworks 32 NFT" and the help gives "Network file
transfert Utility"
version 6.0.044.

Date problem pending

Jacques
