31-03-2000 31-03-2000 file name error File for flight at 2300 on 31/03/2000 has been labelled as 20033123.edt in error and also the date stamp in the file will be incorrect. The true filename should read 00033123.edt while the date stamp in the file should reflect the true date of the flight as 31/03/2000.
01-04-2000 09-04-2000 file name error The .edt files in the 2000/apr/ folder starting '2004...' should read '0004...'. Likewise the date stamp in the files will incorrectly show that the flight took place in the year 2020 and not 2000.
