[9fans] refer ignoring dates > 1999 (Y2K issue)

[Rudolf Sykora]

Hello,

as I bumped some time ago into the problem that refer only considers
as dates (i.e. years) numbers starting with 19, but not 20, I want to
ask whether someone has corrected this issue yet.

[if you have two items

%A fantomas
%D 2001

%A fantomas
%D 2002

refer in its today's shape will protest...
]

I did an ape port some tim,e ago, but I don know whether it has/has not
this problem. You might check it out. Maybe you'll need to edit paths in
mkfile.
/n/sources/contrib/pac/sys/src/ape/cmd/txt/refer.tbz

I've fixed that in /n/sources/contrib/forsyth/refer.tgz
but you'll need to re-run pubindex as well, because mkey had its
own idea about dates.
