The registration routine checks the date against one stored in "OS SIODT"
(stored in atleast one, usually two root directories).

Yeah yeah.. Register SIO and have no problems.. Well, I don't run a BBS, and
only once in a blue moon boot OS/2 to transfer mail, so I don't figure I use
it enough to warrant it. :>

Other than that - I guess somebody could shoot a message off to Ray Gwinn and
ask him if there are any date references?!?
