No, but Dinos might want to continue Olson's work back to Rob's 1900 epoch (as he noted). Olson's work is only goes back to 1970 (at best) as your source link indicates, Paul. It is a little over 1/3 done (maybe). Remember that Dinos often store data that ranges back to the 1900 epoch. (Insurance companies may well have policyholders born near (or before) 1900, for example. That is the real world here in Dinoland.)
