Leaving you with thirty years to develop a solution, or spend a few
minutes pondering whether to bother...  ;-)

But seriously, although some might think you don't need to worry about
such things, there are programs that will need to do some work using a
date from the future.  The matter is more urgent than immediately
obvious.

My program deals only with the present and the immediate past.
Since in 30 years I hope to celebrate (?) my 98th, it would be
quite interesting to see if the problem still concerns me. :)

In a terminal type $cal 2 2008 and you will see February has 29 days when it is leap year according to Google. Do $cal 2 2007 and you will see this:

[karl@k5di ~]$ cal 2 2007
   February 2007
Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa
             1  2  3
 4  5  6  7  8  9 10
11 12 13 14 15 16 17
18 19 20 21 22 23 24
25 26 27 28

So no leap year in 2007



And Cal works after 2037

[rlaing@eagle1 ~]$ cal 2 2039
   February 2039
Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa
       1  2  3  4  5
 6  7  8  9 10 11 12
13 14 15 16 17 18 19
20 21 22 23 24 25 26
27 28

[rlaing@eagle1 ~]$ cal 2 2040
   February 2040
Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa
          1  2  3  4
 5  6  7  8  9 10 11
12 13 14 15 16 17 18
19 20 21 22 23 24 25
26 27 28 29
