I think DOS displays as two digits, but its stored internally as something
larger. According to the MS-DOS function guide I have, INT 0x21, subfunction
0x2A, get date:

Call with:
	AH = 0x2A

Returns:	
	CX = Year (1980 through 2099)
	DH = Month (1 through 12)
	DL = Day (1 through 31)

	Under MS-Dos Versions 1.1 and later
	AL = Day of the week (0=Sunday, 1=Monday, etc)

So, therefore, one can assume its aware of Y2K through 2099 before breaking.
Hopefully, 1000 years from now, someone won't be running MS-Dos anymore.
