Cap,

You mentioned that you are run just fine with the year 2000 on SIRA/PRISM.
I am curious.....when you set the date to 2000, what year to you see in the
upper right hand corner of the SIRA screen?  Is it "00"  or is it "10"?

According the to source code in 4.3 that we have, the integer "1900" is
subtracted from the year you type in, to get a two digit (pre 2000)  year.
The result is stored in a character string dimensioned to 2 characters.
In the case of the year 2000,  we get the number 100, when converted to a 2
charactere string variable in Pascal (str command), it is truncated to the
first two characters, or "10".  In our machines, we display the year "10"
for a minute or two, then it crashes- I think because when we try to pass
this year to the computer, it is a non-allowed year (ie. less than 1980) in
the Dell 486.

Any thoughts?

Cherio,

Bruce
