Your email here has a date of:
Date: Tue, 4 Jan 100 07:34:56 -0800 (PST)
However, in its listing window, Netscape Messenger has it dated as:
12/31/1969 7:00PM
Now, I just checked my Quattro Pro, and its dating function defines day
number one as 12/31/1899. Today, January 5th, 2000 is day number 36530.
I always thought that programs like Quattro and Messenger got their
dating from the sys, Windows98.
I guess this is not the case....
An ms-dos program I run frequently, needs to have the year manually
entered as 100. It then accurately shows the year as 2000 (the apparent
program logic: 1 is added to 19, for 20, and 00 is the 2 digit year), and
correctly does its dating calculations.
For 2001 I will need to enter 101....
