This is a little early to talk about this, but I would like to know if there is
any program out there that would allow setting dates past 2000.  I have tried
setting it in the past a while ago and was unable to.  My Comp Sci professor
told me it is possible to have a date past 2000, but it was not possible to
set it past 2000.  Is this true?  If anyone has a program to do this, please
post it.  Also, an algorithm or source in any language.  What is the largest
date possible in a pc?  Will IBM expand DOS to allow for later dates?  I
personally would prefer a small external command, something like DDATE, that
would do it without reconfiguring the system.  Again, this is a little early,
but it's only 9 years away.
