SYMPTOM:

ConnectView 2.1
 1) The value 2000 could not be entered in date ranges. Now values from 1980 to
 2099 can be entered as four digit numbers.

  2) The values 80 through 99 can now be entered to mean 1980 to 1999, while
the
 values 0 through 79 can be entered to mean 2000 through 2079.

  3) The year 2000 will now be displayed as "00" instead of "100" if the
Windows
 system was set up with two digit years in its short date format. (The year
2000
 was always displayed as "2000" when a four digit year format was selected.)

  4) Leap Day (Feb 29)  can now be accepted as the Ending Date of a range.
Previously, under certain conditions, this was not possible.


 IPX/IP Gateway (BorderManager version only)
 1) The year "2000"  is displayed as "100"
