This patch alters the Acorn Level 2 fileserver code to allow the use of
dates after 1996.  This also allows the use of dates after 1999.  In
keeping with the 'Short Acorn Era', any two-digit year 00 to 80 is defined
as being 2000 to 2080.  Any two-digit year from 81 to 99 is defined as
being 1981 to 1999.

Before running, a copy of the FS code must be made, called FS2-102.  This
can be done with *COPY FS FS2-102 on most filing system other than DFS. 
On DFS *COPY will not allow you to use a different destination name.

On all systems, with the 6502CoPro switched on, the following will create
a copy of FS:

	*GO F800
	*LOAD FS
	*SAVE FS2-102 400+6E00

Once a copy is made, you can run Y2KFS2 to patch it.  You should also
change one line of DSCMGR to allow creation of new fileserver disks after
1996 as follows:

   Change: 3510 X%=EVAL Z$
	to: 3510 X%=EVAL Z$:IFX%>100:X%=X%-1900

The 'Short Acorn Era' defines years as a 7-bit offset from 1981, giving a
full range of 1981 to 2108.  As on startup only a single century range can
be entered the effective range is 1981 to 2080.

The only parts of the fileserver that deal with dates in strings are
entering the date at startup and displaying file information with *INFO. 
In all other parts, the date is stored as a binary 7-bit offset from 1981.

The full list of changes is as follows:
* The version number is now 1.02
* Allows startup entry of years from 1981 to 2080
* Year after 1996 in *INFO reports are displayed correctly
* Dates are displayed as dd/mm/yy instead of dd:mm:yy.

Also included is the program StartFS2.  Running this will read the date
from any Real Time Clock present, and start up the fileserver and enter
the date automatically, leaving the user to enter the number of drives and
the number of stations.
