-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
The NTMMTA Dispatch program incorrectly logs dates after 1999.
This problem occurs in the Central, Dirsync, Dispatch, and Dsserver logs. These
logs use an incorrect date format, for example:
01/01/100 10:50:31 | Status Report from NETWORK/POSTOFFICE/$SYSTEM
The date format in the Central, Dirsync, Dispatch, and Dsserver logs is mm/dd/yy.
Therefore, the date should change from xx/xx/99 to xx/xx/00. Instead, the date
changes to xx/xx/100 for the year 2000 and xx/xx/101 for the year 2001.
CAUSE
=====
The code working out the date format for the Central, Dirsync, Dispatch, and
Dsserver logs was incorrect.
