All dates are stored internally in double precision floating point field and are manipulated using Microsoft’s Visual Basic routines. These fields also include the time of day. Such dates are valid from the 1700’s to past the year 2100. The only dates that are used by these products are the date a file was saved and the date a file was processed or printed. Therefore, such dates will not be prior to 1980, when the PC was first released. The limitation to dates past 2108 involves the PC’s handling of dates in its directories and is not a limitation of either Aardvark products or Visual Basic.
