dates can change

TimeWarp/3000 creator Shawn Gordon wrote us to point out that his Year 2000 date simulation utility behaves differently than our April TestDrive described in one area. The NewsWire review says that the program’s Absolute Date/time creates a date that doesn’t change.

\ “This isn’t true,” Gordon said. “When we refer to an absolute date/time, it is a specific date/time value from which to start counting. When we refer to a relative date/time, this is a delta offset, like +5 months, or -100 minutes. So the review says we do something that we by design choose not to – because a frozen date/time is an unnatural state for your system, and doesn’t correctly test or reproduce anything in the real world.” We apologize for the misunderstanding.
