timewarp fools a program into thinking that thecurrent time
is something other than it really is.This
allowsyou tocontinue running binary software that
has'expired' withouthaving to reset the time of the entire
system. (Aprogramhas 'expired' when it has a logical 'time
bomb'thatprevents use of the program after a certain
date,like'rvplayer' from Real Networks.)
It is
implementedas aloadable kernel module and it affects the
time onaper-program basis. That is, it only
affectscertainuser-specified programs.
