> Hi,
>
> I just received the TS5 preview release 1 today.
>
> The yk2 problem is fixed now in Easy language, and the data format allowed is
> YYYMMDD instead of YYMMDD. (YYY=000 is year 1900)
>
> This means that as serious problem will arise very soon as the compliance will
> fail after 12/31/2899.
>
> Consequences could be dramatic:
> We expect to discover some planets in a close neighborhood of the solar
> systems (if it still exists) during the next centurires.
>
> So, it will be obvious that human life will take place there, and that
> probably exchanges will open and actively trade.
> Due to the travel duration, and according to Einstein's work, it will be a
> long time to send upgrades, security blocks and user's manual by regular Fedex
> intergalactic.
>
> It's not impossible that a trading system written on earth during this period
> will fail when traded on any Alpla Centaurus exchange, because the fix will
> not be received in time.
>
> Not to speak of the disastreous effet on the local population relying on the
> Earth's leading trading software.
>
> So, to avoid any new problem , I urge you to send an Email to:
>
> Request_TSfix_Y2900@xxxxxxxxxxxx
> with all the appropriate comments.
>
> The list message will be compiled and sent to Omega Research ASAP.
>
> A high number of message collected will help us to enforce Omega Research to
> fix this unacceptable problem.
> Type now!
>
> Thanks for your attention.
