age calculation on Windows vs Mac

[André Bisseret]

Bonjour,

After following the quoted adv!ces from SparkOut, 
I found a handler given in 2006 by Peter Brigham on nabble; it is running well on PC (it avoid the 1970 barrier!)
Thank you Peter ;-))

When age < 4 (baby), I need to get it in month  so I keep the handler from Jim Ault  (thank you Jim ;-))

So that I have something like :

 set the itemDelimiter to slash
 if item 3 of birthdate < 1970 then
       -- Peter' handler
    else
      --Jim' handler 
end if

my stack script is beginning to be like "une usine à gaz" as we say in french ("a gas factory"? don't know the english equivalent ;-))

Hope some changes in LC, so that it be possible to get it more simple!

Thanks again to those who replied to my first post on this topic


Best to all

André
