Greetings, List. I would like to thank Ole Gregor, Richard Herrington and Cliff Mugnier for their detailed explanations to my question. In my judgment the combined answers would be too long to post on the list - but if anyone else is interested I'd be glad to email these responses directly. Keep the Y2K bug at bay, and a Happy New Millenium to all. (Uhh - has anyone a definitive answer to the question - does the new millennium begin on 1.1.2000 or 1.1.2001?).
