string), and texi2roff (Texinfo to [nt]roff). Several versions of a joke

have floated around the internet in which some idiot programmer fixes the

Y2K bug by changing all the Y's in something to K's, as in Januark,

Februark, etc.</p></dd><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="one-TBS.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="../0.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="code-404.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">1TBS </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="../index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> 404</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
