SYMPTOMS

When running the PVCS_SS conversion utility, you may receive an error telling you that a PVCS log file may be corrupt. PVCS_SS then causes the MS-DOS session to hang (stop responding to input).

CAUSE

PVCS for Windows NT uses a different data/time scheme in the log files. The PVSC_SS utility was written to accept the date from the old PVCS log files.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
