Yes, either DOS or UNIX epoch. This output is from a really old backup, so
I don't remember on which OS version[*] it's been made, but it goes to
show that it's always been this way.
$ tar tvzf svele-c.tar.gz |head -3
drwx------ perhov/perhov 0 Jan 1 01:00 1970 ./
-r-x------ perhov/perhov 40566 Sep 30 06:20 1993 io.sys
-r-x------ perhov/perhov 38138 Sep 30 06:20 1993 msdos.sys
[*] It might even have been NetBSD or Solaris, I can't recall. That may
explain the UNIX epoch above. Nonetheless, it's not Y2K related.
