 FS>> Does anyone know if there are any y2k issues with the SIO drivers?

 LE> It's hard to see *how* serial drivers *could* have y2k issues. 

 LE> Think about it. When do they *ever* deal with the date or even the
 LE> time?

The unregistered version of SIO creates a hidden file in the root of all
drives that contains date and time information so that it can determine how
many days it has been used for.
