Hi R-friends,
Can anyone explain the following strange behavior to me?
> as.Date( "4/25/71","%m/%d/%y")
[1] "1971-04-25"
> as.Date( "4/25/62","%m/%d/%y")
[1] "2062-04-25"

so 71 is converted to 1971, while 62 is converted to 2062? Does anyone know
why? And is there a simple way to specify the date?
(does works the same way in R 2.01 as well as in 1.9)
