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.
