GG> Let's see... Scott claims there isn't a "year 2000 bug" in Maximus, Gilles GG> "Chicken Little" Beauregard claims there is, and the year 2000 is over 2 GG> years away. Let me clarify that: I have *never* claimed that there is no "year 2000" bug. (For any software product, claiming that "there are no bugs" is generally a bad idea.) I have not, however, received any valid documentation of such a problem. I may have claimed that a few *specific* situations are not problems, but that is different from saying that there are no y2k bugs at all. A few people have pointed out things that they thought to be y2k bugs, but there are easy ways to bypass those "problem". (For example, to enter 2k+ dates in the user editor, enter "1xx" for the year. For example, May 30, 2001 is 05/03/101.) I'm still waiting for valid documentation of a real y2k problem. --- * Origin: Fowl Weather Bureaucropost (1:249/106.1)
