PROBLEMS RESOLVED:

RCONSOLE.EXE
When selecting the directory scan option, the year as indicated by the file creation date displays as 100 instead of 00, 134 instead of 34, etc.

UIMPORT.EXE
Failed to properly create expiration dates for both passwords and accounts when the dates are greater than 1999.

NWVQUE3X.DLL
Unable to Defer Printing in NWADMIN.EXE to any date after the year 1999.

NWVQUE95.DLL
Unable to Defer Printing in NWADMIN.EXE to any date after the year 1999.

MENU.OVL
With the NMENU program the only incorrect date is found by hitting the <F2> key and looking at the "Logged On Since" parameter. Logged in since date displays the year as 100 for 2000, 134 for 2034, etc.

VNETWARE.SYS
After the date rollover from 12/31/1999 to 01/01/2000, the OS/2 system date is rolled back to 1980.
