I just set my clock to february 29 2000. Is this valid ? K&R as an example program implies 2000 should be a leap year. I've not found any hard evidence other than this that it shouldn't be a leap year, but I've been hearing rumours that the rules have changed and that 2000 won't be a leap year. I don't know.. I'm confused, I expect someones already sorted this and decided 2000 is a leap year. Either way, any chance someone can let me know if the following is actually correct or not. root@dylan# date 0002282359.54 Mon Feb 28 23:59:54 GMT 2000 root@dylan# date Tue Feb 29 00:00:02 GMT 2000 [I'm expected to produce a statement of year 2000 compliance of all our software by the end of the week, ha! This should be fun.. but I doubt I'm alone with this task] Many Thanks, Steve Roome Steve Roome - Vision Interactive Ltd. Tel:+44(0)117 9730597 Home:+44(0)976 241342 WWW: http://dylan.visint.co.uk/
