Subject: NU Fixer Extension, for Norton Utilities 2.0.x
This extension is of relevance only to users of Norton Utilities version
2.x; version 3.x users should abstain. This extension is not original with
me; I simply dug it up somewhere, long ago, and am posting it because I
haven't seen it anywhere online recently.

When Norton Utilities v2.0 was released, it was a safe bet that
any Macintosh clock having a date all the way into the year 1995 was set
incorrectly. Norton Utilities has proved to be written well enough that it
has not been obsoleted by new system software releases or new hardware. As
a result, it has recently been warning people that their Macintosh clocks
may be wrong. This can be unnerving when the very reason you are running
Norton Utilities is because your computing world is coming down all around
you.
NU Fixer is an extension that simply changes the date that Norton
Utilities uses for checking your Macintosh clock. When the extension is
active, Norton Utilities will use January 1, 1999 for this sanity check.
Your Norton Utilities application is otherwise unaffected and the copy on
your disk is not changed at all.
