 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 ......

Depends on how they will use this.

If  000=1900 then 2000 could write 100, so 999 will represent 2899.
(Years are counted in a decimal format)

Unfortunately, I cannot test as the current datetojulian function is not
functional with the YYYMMJJ format (it's still a beta).

I do not expect to trade as well as for other activities, even basics, after
2079.
