Uhhh... All the "whakos" please sit down.
I think there is a real issue about the date arithmetic on Apple II
programs when 1999 rolls over to 2000. The comparison of dates
in programs like Appleworks is done rather simplistically, I'll bet,
and May 5, 2000, is probably "equal" to May 5, 1900!
Giving it a try is a good idea, and I'll try it. But I don't expect
everything to be peachy if I sort by date!
