Read the install.txt file in the 312pt9 archive - it is mentioned there.

Readers concerned about the year 2000 bugs in general should visit
http://www.year2000.com/

There are at least 4 possible year 2000 bugs:

1:  The NetWare one, whatever it is;

2:  The PC BIOS 1999/2000 wraparound problem;

3:  2 digit years in application programs;

4:  Programs which insist that the year 2000 is not a leap year (it is).
