As one who uses SuperCharts V.2.0 every day I am sure that Omega research
will be delighted to sell me an upgrade to address the Y2K problem in two
years time. Check it out for yourself: export a .csv file from SC; open it
in MSExcel; Drag the date down a few rows until it reads 2001; copy and
paste some data against the date; save and redraw the file in SC. You will
see that SC cannot read 2000. You will need to setup the page first before
modifying the file.
BTW this is my first contribution to the list. Richard
