However this relief will not extend to 'badly' written code ie: code written with date values not including 4 digit years. As far as more information on this topic is concerned, subscribe to this group and keep your eyes peeled. Although I am sure your mail will spark up a new flurry of messages regarding the so called year 2000 time bomb. Hope that satisfies your curiosity.
