Virtually all of the software I'm running appears to be Y2K complaint in that
I've tested data into the next century: NT4/SP3, Office97SR1, Ecco 4.01 (1995),
Ensign, Quicken 4.0 (1994) and my development tools including VB5. I used my
historical data going back into late 1800's in Access 2.0, Excel 2.0, and VB3
... something I've never been able to do with Omega or Equis products ... seems
strange that the trading software community is so late in addressing this issue.
