#define TWO_DIGIT_CROSSOVER 10



//**************************************************************************
//
// Make sure a year value is ProBoard Y2K compliant (i.e., 1900 + 0-127)
//
//     Prototype:  int NormalizeYear( int iYearVal );
//
//    Parameters:  iYearVal ... Input year value to adjust
//
//       Returns:  The "normalized" year value that is Y2K compliant
//
//       Remarks:
//
// The year value that this routine returns is between 0 and 127, to
// indicate the years 1900 through 2027.  2027 will only be returned if the
// macro TWO_DIGIT_CROSSOVER is set to 28.  Right now, it's set to 10, which
// will result in a return value of 0 to 109, indicating 1900 - 2009.
//
// We use this macro to allow the programmer to customize the cutoff of two-
// digit year values to suit their application's needs.
// 
// This routine performs quite a number of checks on the year value.  If the
// year value is negative, it converts it to positive and goes from there.
//
// If the value is a two-digit value, it checks the crossover value to
// figure out what century it's in.  If it's a three-digit value, it
// considers it a freaky value and tries the best it can (it MOD's the value
// by 100, and treats the final date as a two-year value).
//
// We also check for typos here.  We only consider a simple typo of the year
// 3XXX.  If we find a year like this, we'll treat it as a 2XXX year.
// Anything else is treated verbatim as a legitimate 4-digit year.  Anything
// after 2000+TWO_DIGIT_CROSSOVER-1 wraps over to the 1900 century.
