Y2K

Y2K compliant workaround for N_DATE. Currently N_DATE returns Netware server date always in the 1900s. Uses "customizeable APIs" to get correct date. Should work on all versions of Netware.

• N_DATE5.PRG for Clipper 5.x

• N_DATE87.PRG for Clipper Summer 87. Change SET DATE line if you do not use the American date format (MM/DD/YY).
