I don't know if it was ever published externally, but there was
an old SPR (Software Performance Report) that noted that DCL
(the VMS shell) only supported 4-digit dates but that Engineering
expected to fix it "before 9999".
I can totally see that. Somebody had to write the report, and he _had_
to note any possible shortcomings, and the form probably _required_ a
date for the expected (naturally) solution.
Maybe I'm thinking that way because I'm teaching at a gov't agency this
week. :\
