Actually although it is unfair, as per previous messages, to
criticize COBOL as being responsible for original 2-digit date
decisions, it IS fair to criticize COBOL for it being hard to
fix, since the complete lack of data abstraction in COBOL means
that programs can be infested throughout, and we do not have a
situation where one small part of the program needs changing.
