Subject: TMG-L: "a 1998" = "after" not "about"

When I had my database in FTW, I would enter that a person died "a 1998" so
I knew when they were last known to be alive.
In TMG, I know I can use a living tag, but I am left with a large number of
death tags that print as "a 1998".

Some people get confused and think I am saying "Joe died about 1998"
instead of "Joe died after 1998"
or "Linda was born about 1959" instead of "Linda was born after 1959".

How best to fix my entries in TMG or is there a way to instruct TMG to print
"after" instead of "a" in my reports.
