Yes, and no. The current design of chron is meant to use `y' as a
2-digit only year qualifier. Version 2.2-2 has added code which will
make this work across 2000 as well.
To ready that in, you can easily write your own code. E.g.,
infmt <- function(str) {
x <- strsplit(str, "-")
i <- seq(from = 0, length = length(x), by = 3)
x <- as.integer(unlist(x))
julian(y = x[i+1], m = x[i+2], d = x[i+3])
}
R> chron(infmt(c("2000-03-12", "1999-12-22")))
[1] 03/12/00 12/22/99
