There was an SPR raised (apparently) for the 4-digit year field that
permeates much of the code. "Will be fixed some time before
31-DEC-9999" was the gist of the answer!
Actually I think there are other buglets that bite before then.
When DECnis was being tested for Y2K, they also had to
do some testing for Y3K and I think they didn't do Y4K
because of some issue or other that cropped up.
Has anyone setup OpenVMS on SIMH, set the date to
27-FEB-4000 and rebooted?
