The 2 date systems are there for lotus compatability / original Excel/Mac

but why does the different time display have anything to do with dos
Surely if Excel was written for Mac it used the 1904 system

Excel for Windows changed to 1900 for compatability with Lotus


Where does Dos come into it ?
Not challenging your point, just interested.
