	Xywrite doing a directory in reverse descending date order
as per XY3's dsort settings gives
JAN2000        205 12-01-01  7:51p
BIYANG1  201     718 12-01-00  7:49p
NOV98   -0-     178 11-30-98 11:55p

	so you can't see the 2000 part but it sorts
	correctly.

	I don't do date calculations so haven't tried
	the idea of a two-digit date setting in such
	calculations.
