Aegis Y2K
Aegis \*(v) Year 2000 Status
Aegis does not suffer from Year 2000 problems.
Aegis stores dates internally in Unix style (i.e. seconds
offset), so internal storage of times and dates does not suffer from
any Y2K problems.
Aegis always uses the ANSI C standard strftime function to display
times and dates. (This assumes that your vendor has supplied a compliant
strftime.) This means that displaying dates does not assume
fixed field widths, nor will it display the year 2000 as “100”.
When a user enters dates, they may specify years with an explicit century.
If a user enters a year with an implicit century, the closest is assumed.
