   Huh? At least the version of DOS I'm using supports dates into the
next century:

	D:\TEMP>ver

	MS-DOS Version 3.30

	D:\TEMP>date
	Current date is Fri  3-15-1991
	Enter new date (mm-dd-yy): 3-15-2001

	D:\TEMP>date
	Current date is Thu  3-15-2001
	Enter new date (mm-dd-yy): 3-15-1991

You are welcome to experiment to discover just how far into the 21st
century this works.
