This is really only a problem one week a year for the "single digit"
     years, 200"1"; 200"2"; 200"3" etc... And only if you don't know
     whether you are looking at year/week vs. week/year
     The first week of 2001 [0101], the second week of 2002 [0202]. Since
     we haven't come up with a week 00 yet, I don't think it will be that
     big a deal. (now if I could just get that month/year guy to change...)

Dear Mr. Cosper,

Thank you for your prompt reply. I agree that if all board shops put week
and then the year like you do, anything is fine.  i.e. week/year.

I need to have this survey so that we can team up the majority together.

IPC friends, please show up and say Yes if you agree as above.
