Y2K checkup

[Steve Allen]

We recently checked to see whether the Y2K fixes that were supposed to
become active at the beginning of the year actually worked as expected.

For the old-style data acquisition systems at Lick on Mt. Hamilton we
believe that all but one of the instruments changed to the new FITS
date format.  The holdout simply was never rebuilt using the new
library code.

For the new-style data acquisition systems in the UCO/Lick labs we
found that we are still recording old FITS format dates due to software
which we do not control directly.

How did the changeover go elsewhere?
