RE: Month Start/Month End

I was on call the week of 1/1/01.  We had a program that used the Julian
date to check the (3 days in the future max) date entered by the operator.
Apparently it had run for ten years or so without the future date being in
the next year.  That was the closest I came to having to fix a Y2K bug in
the middle of the night that week.
