Subject: A PGN reminder

Author: Steven J. Edwards

Date: 12:40:50 05/12/99


Greetings.

With the year 2000 nearly upon us, I bring to your collective attention a
reminder of the format used for the PGN "Date" tag value.  The value
associated with a Date tag pair is always ten characters long and is of
the format:

    "YYYY.MM.DD"

So, today is "1999.05.12"

It is not "99.05.12" or "05.12.99" or anything else.

Others who use your data or your software will thank you for adherence
to the standard format.

-- Steven
