Is RasMol "Year 2000 (Y2K) compliant"?

RasMol 2.6 and all prior versions are fully Y2K compliant with a single caveat. RasMol can read and write MDL Mol and Brookhaven PDB files, which reserve only two characters for the year in a date field. RasMol ignores these fields and is therefore not affected by Y2K. However programs reading MDL Mol files generated by RasMol (or any other molecular graphics program) may suffer if they process the date field.
