XBOOT Y2K fix
-------------
This fixes various Y2K problems in XBOOT, including the crash when
trying to save a new set in the year 2000 and beyond.  It is designed
for the English-language version 3.10 of XBOOT, and is based on the
German-language version by Gerd Trudow.

The ^^ shows the byte to be changed.

After making this change and *before* using XBOOT again, you *must*
also modify the SETS.DAT file (in the XBOOT folder) to fix bad dates
that XBOOT may have stored in the file.  Using an ASCII editor, look 
at all the #DATE lines.  The dates should be of the format DDMMYY,
e.g.:
  #DATE 060398
would be 6/March/1998.  If any sets were stored after 1999, you will
find a three digit year, e.g.:
  #DATE 0603100
was stored on 6/March/2000 (2000 = 1900+100 :-().  Change all the
bad dates to use a two digit year, e.g.:
  #DATE 060300
The actual date you use is not very important, as long as it's in
the correct format: it's only used to report the modification date
of the set.

Save the modified SETS.DAT, and you're done!
