Subject: Re: Removing the date on the AV
Tapes

Beth Kish in Cobb county has forgotten to change the
date in GEMS, and now
she has a date problem on her AV tapes. She
is becoming very insistent that
we find a solution for her
forgetfulness. She would be happy if we could
just remove the date
from the tapes all together. Are we able to modify the
A-Basic
file for her to remove the date stamp on the tape? What is the best
course of action. I have already told her we can't be changing anything
this
late in the game, but as usual the client is getting
persistent.
These modifications are fairly simple in
Accu-Basic. Say 0.5 hours coding, 1.0 hours testing, and 0.5 hours
distribution. Installation support not included. The time to
negotiate exactly what to change is extra and misunderstandings can multiply
the whole effort. :-)
However, they would have to re-download. If they have already
or are about to do their L&As then this would probably not be an option.
