I have a vertical market app written in FoxPro 2.5 for DOS. I had assumed up to this point that the Y2K problem would go away when the century actually turned over, in other words that if century were set off and a 21st century date were typed in the system would know that the system date was the 21st century and everything would be OK. Now, I ( am I the last idiot left ) find out that FoxPro DOS itself is locked into the 20th century. It does not recognize the 21st Century system date. I now understand why Microsoft is being sued over this. Why have they not provided a patch for this problem. I am in the process of moving users to a VFP version of the product but they may not chose to convert. They may instead chose to sue us for selling them a product that does not even know what century it is in. I forsee a large number of law suits directed against Redmond if they do not fix this problem!
A problem is a problem only as long as it has a possible solution. Lacking that, it becomes a FACT!
