I have a customer here in the UK who needs a written statement that VMS can

    Vittoroio is the correct person for OVMS.  Mike Pallone (xirtlu::

4739.3RT11 will make it to 2000KAOFS::O_DEBOERMon Jul 22 1996 10:355
    I had a Customer call and ask about the year 2000. Turns out he is 
    running a PDP1173 with RT11. How can I find out about RT11 in the year
    2000. ???

    RT-11 stores the date as 5 bits, which contain the year minus 1972. So
    in the year 2000, it will contain 28, in 2003, 31, and in 2004, it will
    break.  So they get an extra 3 years.
