Has someone compiled a website on this?  A list of all the known year
problems and what patches are available?  GS/OS, ProDOS, AppleShare,
AppleWorks, Copy II Plus, etc.  Whether emulators exhibit the same
problems or have been patched.

(Remembering that GBBS "Pro" had a Year 1990 problem and had problems
 with battery backed RAM getting corrupted on a IIgs setting dates in the
 early 1900's.)

Hopefully some of these patches actually fix the problem instead of just
pushing them off to some later date (frequently 50 years).
