When you eg. start a demo or an old game or something that crashes the
computer, it sometimes happens that the clock has been set to some kind
of maniac's time and/or date. Sometimes it can't be read at all.

Normally, at this point, you won't notice that the clock isn't right, so
you'll just go on saving files, copying files etc. When you realize that
the clock is wrong, you set the clock, BUT.., all files that you have
changed will have the wrong date. This might not look that important, but
sometimes when you want to know which file is newer than another, you
will have big trouble finding out the real dates.

But if you use ClockCheck, this will happen:

When you boot the computer, clockcheck will compare the date against the
old date that was saved the last time you booted (ran ClockCheck).
If the current date is older than the saved date OR the current date is
the same / too much newer than the saved date, ClockCheck will put up
a requester telling you what's wrong.

When the requester pops up you will see the (computer's) current date.
Now you should check if the date is the same as the real date.
If the date was right, just click 'RIGHT', otherwise click 'WRONG'.

If you clicked 'RIGHT', the date will be saved to the file and the computer
will continue the boot procedure as usual.

If you clicked 'WRONG', then this will happen;

The date will NOT be saved to the datefile.
The program will end with a WARN code.

If you want, the time-prefs program will pop up, allowing you to adjust the
date and time.
