Ehi guys... could I say something ?
Well, I'm using a trick to avoid problems with year 2000... I put in my
application the SET CENTURY 1970, so, unless I'm remembering badly, it means
that the year in the pc's date like 7x will be understood by my prg like as
197x ... the same for 8x, 9x ... and arrived at 0x it will mean 200x ...I
tried changing the date and it works well...
... so what's the matter ? I mean, if clipper can do it (it's based on C lan-
guage definitively), why other languages can't do or can have really big
problems ??
Probably I'm too blind to see the answer or I'm not well informed about it...
