I just tried setting the date to 1/4/2001 on my TT and it works fine.
The code hasn't changed between 1.62 and this version, so I don't know
what to tell you.  Try Tsetdate(0x2a24) -- the return code should be
zero, meaning it succeeded.

If you then try to print the date with a program which is not prepared
to handle the turn of the century, that can cause trouble, but it's not
TOS's fault.
