That is indeed true, according to my CE. 5.0 will handle century dates
     fine.

<I know this subject came up before, but I can't recall the bottom line.  I
<have
 the following questions:
 
<1.  How and when will dates past the year 1999 be handled in MPE <(results of
th e calendar intrinsic,etc).
 
<2.  What is the standard format for dates, now that the CALENDAR <intrinsic
form at 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
 s
omeone know different please inform, because I'm counting on this to be true.
