   I'm thinking of replacing the Year 2038 problem   
   with a Year 2030/2040/2050/etc recurring problem.   
      
   Basically if the current year is 2030-2040, then   
   time_t is represented as number of seconds since   
   1980 instead of 1970. Repeat every 10 years.   
      
   This means if you do a "dir" on PDOS/386 (but not   
   PDOS/Vaporware-x64) you won't be able to see both   
   1970s files and 2030s files, since internally it goes   
   via time_t.   
      
   Not sure if I should make it 2038-01-01 instead of   
   2030-01-01. The latter will be easier to keep track   
   of for humans.   
      
   My files date from about 1988. I bought my PC XT   
   in 1987 or 1988, can't remember. Commodore PC 5   
   with 20 MB hard disk and monochrome text monitor.
