RE: Y2.1K Compliance

[Joel Fritz <JFritz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It depends on how you handled two digit years.  For data that doesn't need
to last more than a year or two, a common work around was an exception
subroutine for the year 2000 and keeping the files with the two digit years.
If all your dates have four digit years or are stored as true dates, 2100
isn't an issue.  I can hardly wait til 2098 or so. <g>
