Description (last modified by Gary Dixon)

Changes to Multics info segment made after 2000 need to better distinguish the year of change in the info segment header line, so there will be no roll-over of dates around the year 2070. The current rule is to always use a 4-digit year in the info segment header line.

85-10-10 validate_info_seg, vis

would become:

1985-10-10 validate_info_seg, vis

Dates not in calendar-date format (with year appearing first, followed my month and day) would be diagnosed as errors, recommending replacement with a 4-digit year in a calendar-date format. Thus:

02/06/85 check_info_segs, cis

would be diagnosed as an error, to be replaced by:

1985-02-06 check_info_segs, cis
