This is just a WAG, but if it's anything like Perl, 2000 will show up as "100". (In Perl, you get 1999, 2000, 2001, etc. by adding '1900' to the year, not by prepending the two digits '19'.) --Dan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
