You're using the one that hubby fixed, I think.  That is the kludge for
post-Y2K dates.  Before the fix, anything post-Y2K showed up as 10,
whether it was 2000, 2001 or 2008, as there was only space for 2 numbers
there, and it took the first two of the 99 + X, but not the one that
really at least let one know which year it was.  Now there's the
capability for 3 numbers, so the year is shown as 100, 101, 108 etc for
dates Y2K and following.
