Yeah... I tried to figure out a fix to atleast do what

but I end up using one more word than the current code. :-(
Hmm, possibly I can get away with it, if there is a free location, or
a constant 0060 on the current page, or page zero already, and the
link is already clear at entrance of the routine... But it's hacky.
There's one location free on that page, so you can make a simple fix.
(That's fortunate, given that using page zero hacks doesn't work well
since the code in question is in an overlay that gets relocated to
different memory fields based on system memory capacity. More memory
means that less overlay swapping is required.) Oh, and you can't assume
AC and L input to the routine.
The "simple" fix doesn't much help the problem as you just change the
incorrect representations to different year spans. Seems to me to be a
waste of time.
(For anyone who really cares about TECO-8, I've got a version that
works well with ANSI terminals, including PuTTY.)
