Hi.
if you change your time in windows 95, the BIOS is updated
automatically. so the tests that people have done are still valid.
If you want to be extra careful, then you should change it in the BIOS
as well.
But ask yourselves one question, why would JFW be date dependent?
Only programs that are date dependent could have any problems when the
year changes to 2k.
Cheers
sean.

David, I did the same thing about setting my computer for the 31 od
December, but I was rather stupid, because I did not backup, but that
was
before I heard this foolish thing about the y2k problem with jfw.
Like
you, my computer booted up fine, and ran fine, and also I was even
able to
check the leap year date, and it worked also. So that is just garbage
about the key not bing y2k.
