===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
YearIn 1.1 Quick Guide
DEMO: Two-Digit Year Input or Difference
Copyright (c) 1995-1996 by David M. Wincelberg
Overview
This program demonstrates a routine that properly handles two-
digit year inputs and differences for the current and next
century. For example, 98 converts to 1998 and 3 becomes 2003.
The pair of partial years (90, 95) converts to (1890, 1995) for a
difference of 105 years. In addition, this routine is
incorporated into an edit box or data-entry field that expands a
two-digit year into a four-digit year when you move away from it.
Thus, YearIn's year-resolution routine virtually eliminates the
need to enter four-digit years and allows databases that use two-
digit years to continue to be usable in the 21st century.
To use YearIn in Windows 3.1 or 95, start YEARIN.EXE, click
on the Input menu, and select either A Year, Year Difference,
Examples, or Dynamic Edit Box. For the first option, enter a
one-, two-, or three-digit year and click on the OK button or
press Enter to close the dialog box. The input and the result
will appear in a scrolling list in YearIn's main window. In
addition, you may set the active year in this dialog box to some
year other than the current one. For example, try entering 98
for active years 1996 and 2000. You will get the same four-digit
year.
The year-difference option will produce a dialog box that
accepts a pair of two-digit years and allows setting the active
year and the minimum difference between years. Try entering 90
and 95 to get a difference of 105 years. The inputs and outputs
for this calculation will also appear in the main window. The
primary benefit of the year-difference logic is that databases
that use two-digit years to store birth and current (or death)
years do NOT need to be modified. Following is the sample output
from this program that is generated by selecting the Examples
option.
Input(s) Full Year(s) Difference Active Year MinDiff
-------- ------------ ---------- ----------- -------
98 1998 1996
3 2003 1996
98 1998 2000
3 2003 2000
3, 98 1903, 1998 95 1996 25
90, 95 1890, 1995 105 1996 25
3, 98 1903, 1998 95 2000 25
90, 95 1890, 1995 105 2000 25
75 1975 1996
75 2075 2060
Selecting the Dynamic Edit Box option will present an edit
box (or data-entry field) that converts a partial year input into
a four-digit year when you move away from it by clicking on
another entry field, selecting a button, or using a keyboard
command. This edit box is designed to relieve data-entry
personnel from repeatedly having to type all four digits of an
input year.
YearIn is a freely-distributable $10 to $5000 shareware
program by FileJockey Software, which can be reached by e-mail
(71573.1023 @compuserve.com) or postal mail (289 S. Robertson
Blvd., Suite 373, Beverly Hills, CA 90211). Registered users
will receive the C/C++/Fortran/COBOL source code for this routine
and the C++ source code for this edit box. FileJockey Software
is also maintaining a list of year-2000 articles in YR2000.TXT in
CompuServe's OAFORUM and PCPROG forums.
