Before anyone chooses to bash filePro/ken for this seeming hassle. It is
exactly the same thing on any platform/system/shell. In Windows, for
example, the PFCMARK is set exactly the same way with a 100 year window that
dates work inside. Batch scripts and, etc. can not have a birthdate inside
the 100 years and a loan payoff date outside it.... either. :-)
