           Summary: BOM: DateSerial (VB function) gives 19xx for 2 digit
                    years, but should provide 20xx for years below 30
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.35.
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://http://downloads.sourceforge.net/bom/bom230_sourc
                    es.zip?use_mirror=dfn
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: wine-kernel
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: hans.huber at gmx.de


Biet-O-Mat is an eBay Snipper tool. It seams to install and run almost fine
except any new article gets an end date of 1907. I checked their source code and
they use 2 digit years (as on the eBay web Page). According to MS
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bbx05d0c(VS.80).aspx it should return
20xx for years between 00..30 (additionally the OS can check the International
Settings in the registry ([HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control
Panel\International\Calendars\TwoDigitYearMax] too). I think this is not done
here. I poked around in the Wine SW ./dlls/oleaut32/vartype.c function
VARIANT_MakeDate but I think this is not called from DateSerial(). So it must be
in some other places...

Logs can be provided upon request. 

Thanks.
