> While at it, why not standardize everything to 4 digits Sounds like a good idea to me< FWIW.
The 2-digit years came about because rms "optimized" it with lawyers umpteen years ago. When I questioned him about it more recently (maybe only .3umpteen years :), he went back to the lawyers and this time the advice was to always use four-digit years. As usual with these matters, there is no pressing need to go back and change all the existing notices, but the more that get converted to the currently-standard form, the better. k
