Subject: HP BASIC & Y2K From: bruce_schadel@agilent.com Date: Thu, 9 Dec 1999 17:23:32 -0800 I just want to suggest setting the computer's clock back 28 years, rather than 10. That puts everything in sync such as day-of-the-week and leap year. You could do it today and if works, 1971 will roll over to 1972 without difficulty. BTW, just because the OS is non-compliant doesn't mean it won't work. Possibly the worst that happens is you get funny-looking dates on printouts. ===
