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.
