- Changes from YearIn v1.0 to v1.1
-
-
- YearIn's logic is no longer restricted to converting two-digit
- years into four-digit years. It can now handle year differences
- whose inputs stay as two-digit years. For example, (90, 95)
- converts to (1890, 1995) for a difference of 105 years. Thus,
- large databases used for age calculations do NOT need to be
- modified.
-
- Options were moved into the input dialog boxes and the
- corresponding menu items were removed.
-
- A pre-defined set of examples may be run through the year-
- resolution logic by selecting Input, Examples. The active year
- for most of these examples will be the current year up to 1999.
-
- This logic 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. Using this edit box results in full-year data
- entry that is quicker and less error prone than repeatedly typing
- four digits.
-
- The source code of the year-resolution routine now comes in a
- package that contains this routine written in four languages (C,
- C++, Fortran and COBOL). (The source code of the edit box is in
- C++.) Registered users will receive this package as a
- registration benefit. CompuServe users may register through
- SWREG (#11545, $10 to $5000).
