Tom,

I cut a fair amount of Y2K fixes, but the thing I discovered was,
unless there was a sort on year, or some date math involved, use of 2
digit years might look ugly or cause an anomaly here or there, but
mostly they were just informational - just another field to print on a
report or display on a screen.

Most of the fixes to 4 digits, (while a very good idea - for
modernization purposes), were completely unnecessary for the
application to function properly.
