Year 2000 status of the Tagged format and utility programs

The Tagged data format can hold data in a number of forms, but the only officially condoned format for date information is the ISO date format (i.e. 1999-04-21, or 2039-05-01) for the 21st April 1999 and the 1st of May 2039 respectively.

The distributed tag utility programs, tagextract, tagcheck etc are thus year 2000 compliant, and any other programs which use this data format should not have any year 2000 problems caused by use of the format.
