Hi Jonathan,

JDBP>                              Announcing the

JDBP>                 ---------------------------------------
JDBP>                 OS/2 Command Line Utilities version 2.0
JDBP>                 ---------------------------------------



JDBP>X All of the utilities that deal with dates are fully capable of handling
JDBP>  dates beyond the year 2000, beyond the year 2038 -- which is the "drop
JDBP>  dead" date for much 32-bit C and C++ code --, and right up to the year
JDBP>  2107, in fact.

JDBP>  Ironically, this ability in the TOUCH and XDIR commands has revealed
two
JDBP>  Year 2100 bugs in OS/2's own FAT and HPFS filesystem drivers!

I thought we'd found those long ago... I remember discussions of the
date range supported by REXX and the OS/2 API long ago and that dates
beyond 31/12/2099 were not handled correctly. I might even have it
archived somewhere...

George
