The results on Windows may also depend upon whether you built a 32 bit
standalone or a 64 bit standalone? Or using the 32 or 64 bit version of

Hi
This thread reminded me of some sci-fi show show I was watching which
referenced the collapse of society on earth caused by a bug around 2035 or
something like that where the computers could not process dates beyond that.
I thought this is just a off hand reference to something Y2K.

Thanks for the quick responses. In this case I did indeed use a 4 digit year as
initial input (always), but still managed to shoot myself with a second
conversion step.
Converted my nicely formed input text to dateitems -- all good. Did my addition
for renewal days to item 3. Check. Then I
Had to test this out of curiosity. Indeed, when using 2-digit year, that is the
result, as expected and explained in the dictionary entry for centuryCutoff.
But how far does the 4-digit conversion work? Here’s what I’ve found:
- On Windows 10, it works until year 3000, and stops working on year
That's the centuryCutoff in action, but I think something is amiss since
it's only supposed to apply to 2-digit years and you supply a 4-digit year.

I was testing one of the tools I use to handle licensing today and decided to
run the series through a few iterations adding 2 years at a time. I noticed
that my dates were reverting to the 20th c. Hmm, whoops.
After a bit of head scratching I decided it wasn't just my doing.
