Since most (if not all) of Pilot Manager is Perl/Tk scripts, you'd have
to really ask 

	Is Perl Y2K compliant?  - yes
	  http://www.perl.com/pace/pub/Does_Perl_Have_a_Y2K_Problem?
	  
	Is Tcl/Tk Y2K compliant?  - yes
	  http://www.scriptics.com/Y2K.html

Each of the conduits would have to be reviewed to make sure they are
using 4-digit date stamps for comparisons, etc.

Somebody would have to do a full sync on a system with the date set
to various critical dates and see if all the conduits act appropriately.
The Backup archives use a 4-digit year, so that is good.
