I looked for info on the year 2000 bug and haven't found any via the
search engine in your
support area.
The reason I ask is I think I found one in the DATE command for 2.2.1.
The reason I say this is that it uses the YYMMDD format which means it
will roll over to
000101 at the year 2k.
man info :
SYNOPSIS
