I missed the "C source code available" on the first read!  As it turns out, the

Windows/UNIX (that would support long file names for eg.).

Is that the only Y2K bug?  Just a display issue?  That's all I noticed.  I
changed line 106 of redate.c to read:

I assume you didn't want the century to show (like the old version).  You can
download the new source + executable from
