<2.  What is the standard format for dates, now that the CALENDAR =
<intrinsic format is not sufficient?

It is my understanding that the CALENDAR Intrinsic will now continue to =
the year 2027, first 7 bits of the INTEGER can contain a value of 127.  =
This was in HP Lab Test during IPROFs 94, and should be included in the =
5.0 operating system.  If someone know different please inform, because =
I'm counting on this to be true.
 
Thanks, Steve, but I guess I should have added a further question:
 
How will VPlus handle dates past 1999?  They only use the MDY or DMY =
format and VPlus=20
compares for these dates will give the wrong results.
 
TIA
