Gerry,

  I have changed my formating in my Y2K final releases however.  Now,
they use the format provided in your settings of Windows 95/98/NT in
order to obtain the date mask of your system.  This gets rid of my
technique, but makes it easier for my applications to be compliant to
Y2K.  This way, if Windows fails, then so do my applications.  If
windows doesn't fail, they don't!!!!  Simplying meaning, if no OS, no
applications can run anyways, whether Y2K ready or not, right? ;)
