Re:

> 12/31/1999 to 1/1/2000 is obvious (but not listed)

Also not listed: dates past 2027-12-31.
Or, dates past 2038-01-19?

OTOH...we won't be working then, and our software won't
be running then, will it?   :)

Wait...isn't that how we got into this mess? :)


Seriously, programs using CALENDAR (instead of HPCALENDAR) would
be susceptible to 2027 problem.

Programs using the current "standard" UNIX time routines are susceptible
to the 2038 problem (note: HPCALENDAR goes well past that date).



<plug> HourGlass 2000 for the HP 3000 lets you simulate dates past 2027 (and past 2038, too) </plug>
