Knowledgable listers:

I thought I had this year 2000 stuff down.  But now I get a letter =

from one of our customers that really confused me.  My understanding =

of the leap year algorithm is:

A year is a leap year if it is evenly divisible by 4, except for =

those years that are evenly divisible by 400.

Is this correct?  Or am I (as usual) deluded?  Is the year 2000 =

a leap year or not?
