Since when cant Euphoria handle negative integers ? However, the most common used scope for years is from 1900 - 2150 (total of 250) The value ex.exe gives you fits in a bit, for the next so-many years. It you want a bigger scope, just write out more bytes. But for now, the smallest scope is used. By the time we reach > 2150, we needed to worry about diskspace as much as now, and can easily use 2 or more bytes. Without breaking any existing code. Euphoria is once again.. TESDEN.
