-Y2K status of bzip2 and libbzip2, versions 0.1, 0.9.0 and 0.9.5
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Informally speaking:
-   bzip2 is a compression program built on top of libbzip2, 
-   a library which does the real work of compression and 
-   decompression.  As far as I am aware, libbzip2 does not have 
-   any date-related code at all.
-
-   bzip2 itself copies dates from source to destination files 
-   when compressing or decompressing, using the 'stat' and 'utime' 
-   UNIX system calls.  It doesn't examine, manipulate or store the 
-   dates in any way.  So as far as I can see, there shouldn't be any 
-   problem with bzip2 providing 'stat' and 'utime' work correctly 
-   on your system.
-
-   On non-unix platforms (those for which BZ_UNIX in bzip2.c is
-   not set to 1), bzip2 doesn't even do the date copying.
-
-   Overall, informally speaking, I don't think bzip2 or libbzip2 
-   have a Y2K problem.
-
-Formally speaking:
-   I am not prepared to offer you any assurance whatsoever 
-   regarding Y2K issues in my software.  You alone assume the 
-   entire risk of using the software.  The disclaimer of liability 
-   in the LICENSE file in the bzip2 source distribution continues 
-   to apply on this issue as with every other issue pertaining 
-   to the software.
