My tests of D&S (Pascal version) show it to be strangely Y2K compliant (unusual
for a financial program). There is one place where a "19" appears instead of a
"20," but it is only on the screen to enter the current year, and does not
appear later in the massive works of the program. Later in the program, all the
dates are in the format 01/01/00, and the century never really plays a part. So
it appears to be okay. 

I don't use D&S myself, and I'm only saying this after a 10-minute perusal.
There may be other places where it comes into play, but I didn't see any.

We can patch that little "19" to a "20" in the ProDos version of D&S. In the
Pascal version, we can't (or maybe we could, I haven't looked). The D&S ProDos
patch is by Bruce Rapee.
