My, that is funny! In fact, I can't decide which is funnier, that e-mail or this excerpt from a recent review of a certain software package: I was surprised to find that the scan results file was nothing more than a columnar list of files. Column 1 was an underlined area where the user could write down the manufacturer of a given file, column 2 was a check box area where the user could indicate that a given file had been checked out, and column 3 was the fully qualified filename of the executable or application file. The following line is an example copied directly from MBCK's file: _______________ [ ] C:\WINDOWS\WIN.COM The pertinent information regarding the date and time of creation of the executable wasn't provided. Different versions of executables have different time stamps. Some older versions are non-compliant, while newer versions are. Without the date/time stamp, the user will be required to use Windows Explorer or some other method to ascertain when the file was created so the compliance status can be determined. I'm sure I posted once about a y2k scanner that was just a BAT file containing the line "DIR", but can't seem to find it....
