+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.
