Don't forget that as of today, whoops... yesterday, New York state entered fiscal 1999. THIS IS THE FIRST LITMUS TEST!!! OK, it's a minor one, but it is a potential real-world situation. For a while now some people have been talking about situations where the number 99 is used as a "check" number in the year field. Now we finally have the opportunity to show people a real world case. Of course that's if the effects are visible. Personally I've never seen any cases of this, but some people don't believe me when I tell them what I've seen, so my mind is wide open on this. Have there been any honest to goodness blips? Keep your eyes open. ____ From: Mark S Adam Newsgroups: comp.software.year-2000 Subject: New York enters fiscal '99!!!
