EasyDrive, a freeware release from QLabs, is a disk management suite for hard drives and other large media. As distributed, the date code in the top bar is hard-coded to display "19" for the century digits. Mark Percival has written an easy-to-use BASIC program that will change these digits from "19" to "20" for proper date display. Place the BASIC file EZUPDATER in the same subdirectory as the EASYDRIVE bin program and then run the BASIC file. (You may want to save the original file as ORIG.EASYDRIVE just in case.) From that point on, the date bar at the top of the menu will display the proper date. Note that this patch is only good for this century, so if you're going to be using your Apple II and EasyDrive 95 years from now, a new patch program will be necessary. Please note that the EasyDrive software must be distributed in it's original form, and the date code must be altered by the end-user. This is in keeping with the freeware agreement under which QLabs released this software. 1-3-2005
