Here is a slick idea from M$: http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/cn/20010406/tc/microsoft_s_virus_antidote_ban_attachments_1.html >>> albert.york@nissan-usa.com 04/06/01 11:23AM >>> Sorry. I missed the sarcasm in your original email. There are still people today who defend that as being a good way to convert dates. Albert -----Original Message----- From: James W.

At the time this was unleashed on the RPGII community, people said: 'Hey, that's pretty slick. I can flip/flop a date format in a single instruction.' Then the underlying hardware changed and suddenly something 'slick' became expensive. Expensive in both the cost of computing performance but also expensive in removing it.
