This is very interesting because it suggests that Omega did not
change the size of their data format otherwise they could have used
a YYYY format since LongInt covers 2^32 days - enough for some
prophets to come.
And if I am right then the data format is still word which means
65535 days. So if 000 = 1900 then the software will run only for 179
years = 2079 and not until 2899.
I suspect that some Frenchmen (and MB) given enough steak and viagra
might live until then ......

This in turn means that TS 5.0
does not run until 2899
