Version 6.0 Updates
These files are final updates to The Survey System Version 6.0. Version 6.0 and the year 2000: Most features in Version 6.0 will work fine in the year 2000. There are two features that cannot handle dates on opposite sides of the century divide: The Difference between Dates data transformation will give incorrect differences for dates on opposite sides of the century divide, if they were recorded using two-digit years. The other problem feature is Sample Management. You cannot start a telephone interviewing project in 1999 and finish it in 2000. Later versions are not affected by either of these problems. They are fully Y2K compliant. These updates are for current registered users of Version 6.0. They will not work by themselves. Neither will they add any Modules you do not already have. These files are compressed using .ZIP format. You can uncompress them using PKUNZIP, WINZIP and other products. After you decompress them, copy them into The Survey System's or the Station's folder (directory). They will replace an existing file.
The Survey System with Sample Management update lets you create Sample Management reports that properly show year 2000 dates. However, it may disable spell checking. If you need to use both features, you can install the 6/7/99 update in one folder and the 1/3/00 update in another folder.
