>I was failed with a date of year 2000 on AppleWorks 2.0
Y2K fix - AppleWorks 2.0 only - not for v2.1 or any other version

These patches are by Beverly Cadieux of TEXAS II. All versions of AppleWorks
have different problems, and all fixes are different. All versions will be
posted as soon as I have time. Please respect our hard work, and wait for
your version's Y2K fixes to appear.

These patches are in AppleSoft Basic or Block Warden format. If you do not know
how to "Get into BASIC" or use Block Warden, please ask. If you are unable to
make these fixes yourself, ask someone in your user group, or mail a backup
copy of your AppleWorks startup and program disk to Beverly Cadieux, 2503
Sherbrooke Ln McKinney TX 75070, and I'll fix it for you. We charge $10 for
this service to cover my time and return postage.

This patch can be made "over the top" of any other AppleWorks 2.0 patches and
accessories that you already have. It is for AppleWorks 2.0 only. We do not
change the version number of AppleWorks 2.0.

Get into AppleSoft Basic and type this small program. If you don't know how to
"get into AppleSoft Basic" (run BASIC.SYSTEM), ask and someone will explain it
to you.

At the AppleSoft BASIC prompt, type the program below. Insert a backup copy of
the AppleWorks STARTUP disk in a drive, or note its pathname on your hard
drive.

Line 1: Set the prefix to wherever AppleWorks is located. For example,
/.APPLEWORKS, /.HD/.APPLEWORKS, or /.HD1/.AW. Note that I have put a period
after the slash in the pathnames above and in the program below. This is to
avoid this particular CSA2 post from converting to HTML for some web browsers.
You will not put a period after the slash in your pathname to AppleWorks.

Line 3: If you have SuperMacroWorks or UltraMacros installed, BSAVE
Aplworks.Sys instead of Aplworks.System.

All 0's in numbers and the filename SEG.M0 below are zeros.

Part 1: Set the prefix, and fix the STARTUP to allow date entry of years before
83.

] PREFIX /.APPLEWORKS : REM Use full path for Startup disk (NO period)
] POKE 768,0 :
] BSAVE APLWORKS.SYSTEM,TSYS,A768,B$17CC,L1

BSAVE Aplworks.Sys if you have SuperMacroWorks or UltraMacros installed.

Continuing with Part 2, Fix the entry of year "00" in data base date fields. If
you are using 5.25" disks, insert a backup copy of the AppleWorks PROGRAM disk
in a drive.

] POKE 768,0 : REM Insert program disk now
] BSAVE SEG.M0,T$00,A768,B$59a,L1

To get out of AppleSoft Basic, type BYE.

If you find that your files are locked and you can't patch, type

] Unlock Aplworks.system

or

] Unlock SEG.M0

Then BSave the patch again.

Should you need to reverse this patch, the reverse values are

Part 1: ] POKE 768,$53 :

Part 2: ] POKE 768,$1A:

For Block Warden users, the disk locations are

Aplworks.System - byte $17cc - Change $53 to 00
SEG.M0 - byte $059a - change $1A to $00

Sorry, we cannot fix the sorting of data base dates. For proper database date
sorting, update to AppleWorks 4.3 or 5.1 (requires extra memory for optimal
results). TEXAS II has pre-owned copies of AppleWorks 4.3 and 5.1 for sale.
These copies were donated by TEXAS II subscribers so that other new subscribers
can have the latest version.

The above patches are for AppleWorks 2.0 only. They have been published in
TEXAS II, widely distributed, and have been in general use since September
1998. For patches for other versions, please ask. All versions will be posted
as soon as I have time. Please respect our hard work, and wait for your version
to appear, so that everyone has THE SAME updates everyone is on the same page.
Any problems, please let me know.
