stupid question: why is setting the date in the next millenium of any
importance now? do u really expect to be using TOS 10 years from now?
i don't even think much of the software available now will even be
around in 10 years, including TOS. 10 years from now u will be using
a 64-bit/64MB/50Mhz/unix(?) system that'll cost u $500 in 1990 dollars...

maybe u should explain what u are doing. there may be a better solution.
