Hi Milan and Olivier once again,

If and when IBPP supports the full range of dates, where can I get to
know about it. Would hte best place be Ibpp.org or is there any other
newsgroup where I can keep track of the changes?

Date of birth of people are more often before 1.1.1970, so full
export of data is somewhat crippled without IBPP conforming to the
dates.

Best regards,
Samrat.
