I haven't actually changed my computer's date to test Y2K compliance,
but I have high confidence that there should be no significant problems.
HyperNews stores dates in full date ascii text including four digits for
the year.
If there are any problems, they would not be due to HyperNews itself
but due to problems that Perl or Unix date code might have.
In any case, any problems would be only a minor display annoyance in
that the 'new' icons would show up or not show up incorrectly. This
may have been the case in older versions of HyperNews, but I replaced
the date-specific code in version 1.9.6, so those problems, if they
existed, are now certainly gone.
Hope that is sufficient.
