For all of you younger whippersnappers, I did not mean to fire you up. I am not a programmer..never was. One Fortran class in college. The prof accused me of writing an inefficient program and marked me down. I protested..'I am not a computer major..it's a machine..I do not care if it makes extra loops..are electrons in short supply? if it gets the right answer it works for me.' (he marked my grade back up) How many bits/bytes?? does one use for a date?? two for the day, two for the month and two for the year?? six? If a date is represented by number of days from 1950..six digits = 999999 is equivalent to 999999/360 or 2777 years...just an 'old' whippersnapper asking<g> Zeuspaul
