In case there is anyone out there besides me who is still using the
vintage-1990 MS BASIC PDS v 7.1 compiler running as a "native OS/2"
application (not in a VDM!):

    I made a small test of the DATE$ function (compiled and linked for
both real (VDM) and protected (native OS/2) modes with my system clock
cranked up a year.  The full source code of TEST.BAS was: PRINT DATE$.
Both versions returned 11-16-2000, something that was not really
expected!

    So, two of my often-used very-old utilities are Y2K safe, so I don't
have to rewrite them in PL/I during the next month and a half :-).

    Just shows that MS once was able to do things right!

    Regards,
