it's always good to learn how widely Lynx is spreading:
it really does encourage the volunteer developers.

the official Lynx blurb on the subject is in the distribution README:
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
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.
if you have any further problems, please ask again here.
