  General Information  about Lynx
       
     * Q: Is Lynx "Year 2000 (Y2K) Compliant"?
       A: We believe Lynx works properly for the Year 2000 issues, since 
       it does not store dates in 2-digit form. Since it must communicate
       with a wide range of web servers, it interprets dates in a variety
       of formats. In particular, if Lynx receives a date with a 2-digit
       year, it assumes that values less than 70 are in the range
       2000-2069.
