[[[most computer programs used the last two digits to represent a four-digit year]]]

The issue we had was we were using 2 digit years (97,98,99,00) zero year is invalid.

We converted everything from a 2 digit year to a 4 digit year format.

fun times

Now a lot of places have converted back to two digits. But 2020 is confounding things a bit.

I still have one .exe program that I have to turn the clock back to run. No access to the source code to correct.
