I think it should be YYYYY. That way we’re y10k compliant. No point
putting it off. Look where that got us last time!
Ok, back to work.

Subject: Re: Test Issue with win32_popen was [ANN] win32_popen 0.1Surely YYYY-MM-DD is the only intelligent date format. No
confusion
whatsoever. Since the Y2K fiasco, I’ve never seen any advantage in
abbreviating the year, even in informal writing.Agreed, I always use YYYY-MM-DD now and will always write the
year out
as YYYY on both formal & informal documents.I’m working on the principle that if enough of us do it there
won’t be a
problem again in 97 years.Rob
