MS-DOS version (was: What's best to do?? classically speaking

   IBM came out
with PC-DOS 7.0 (now renamed PC-DOS 2000).
 They made it y2k compliant and all that.  
 What are some of the symptoms of y2K incompliancy?
 I have been setting old machines (1994 -> before) to
 current dates and have been getting no trouble, at least
 as far as I could tell.

Some of the programs show 100 when listing files created in 2000
(MS Win3.1.x file manager did this until they put the y2k patched one
out on their download site.

I think the dos shell did the same thing.  Not sure if the dir in
command.com had the same problem.

There are other problems with other programs.
IBM has on-line APARS for their stuff which goes into the ones for PCDOS
and OS/2.

Microsoft's a bit harder to get docs on what each bug does.
