SYMPTOMS
========

In Schedule+ for Microsoft Windows, if you type a two-digit date in a four-digit
date box, Schedule+ may interpret the date incorrectly. This problem occurs if:

- You set the short date format for Windows (under Regional Settings in Control
  Panel) to use a four-digit year (such as dd/mm/yyyy).

-and-

- In Schedule+, you type a two-digit year in any four-digit date box.

The following symptoms occur:

- If you enter a two-digit year in an appointment, Schedule+ always assumes
  that the year is 19xx.

- If you insert a two-digit year in a "To Do" task, Schedule+ always sets the
  year to 1900.
