- Easy: Just pick a date that's before NOW. Not that hard to do if, unlike many
- recent querants, you're willing to take the time to figure out how VMS works!
- Of course, if you're one of the people trying to use shit for brains who can't

- Disclaimer: Hey, I understand VAXen and VMS. That's what I get paid for. My
- understanding of astronomy is purely at the amateur level (or below). So
- unless what I'm saying is directly related to VAX/VMS, don't hold me or my
- organization responsible for it. If it IS related to VAX/VMS, you can try to
- hold me responsible for it, but my organization had nothing to do with it.
