I feel like I'm stating the obvious, but -- what makes you think the main problem is the century ? It's not. The problem is that an external observer who doesn't know your personal date format cannot guess whether "010203" is 2001-02-03 or 2003-02-01 or even 2003-01-02. It's like for 01/02 which means january the 2nd in the US and february the 1st in France, UK, and other countries. -- André Majorel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.teaser.fr/~amajorel/
