Updating Back it Up by Widget software
Posted: Wed Apr 10, 2024 11:08 pm
Hi, I was looking to try out Back it Up by Widget software as a backup solution for my 2 line organiser. It looks pretty good but I soon realised it falls foul of the Y2K bug by using the year variable to create a date reference used by the Psion and the PC to identify the backup. Using Jaap's reverse translator on the files MBACK and MBACKUP it looks like a simple fix to add 84 to the variable which uses "year" (as described in Jaap's Y2000fix).
My problem is, once the program is reverse translated to Opl., It will not translate back to OB3 even before I've made any changes.
The offending line returning a syntax error is L7%=ADDR(L24%(1))
The variable L24%(1) is declared as $1068
I understand there are some limitations of Revtran but I just wondered if anyone had a suggestion as it would be nice to be able to use this software in conjunction with the Y2000FIX on a Psion XP.
Kind Regards,
David
PS I'm on holiday for a few days, but I know this is going to be on my mind while I'm away!
