The Personnel/Payroll System at the University of Illinois at
Springfield was designed and built using Dictionary/3000,
TurboImage and Transact/XL.    The date fields, while stored
in TurboImage as X8 fields, are known to Dictionary, Transact
and BRW as 9(8) fields, with four (4) subfields:    year  as  9(4),
month  as  9(2),  day  as  9(2),  month-day  as  9(4).
BTW, we knew about the year 2000 back in 1988, when we
were still Sangamon State University.
