Re: lynx-dev Year 2000 Compliant

Here is the word straight from the lynx 2.8 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.

Version 2.3 is quite antiquated. 2.8 is the current stable version.
