Hi Gregor...
I believe we are compliant, up to at least the year 2039, when
Unix has its "problems". Thomas would be better at answering this,
though, as he knows the 'date/time' code the best...
Unix, in general, doesn't fall under the Y2K problem, since its
dates are represented in seconds since epoch...which hits its limit aroudn
the year 2039, and I elieve all our dates are represented as the full
year (1998), not the partial (98)...
