It might be simpler just to reset the date at the command prompt every time
after booting. I still haven't seen what happens if Linux, when booting, sees
year 2094. Apparently Linux tolerates year 1994. When I tried to reset the
date under Linux, it showed some time in March 2017, but came back to 1994,
correct month and day, on the next reboot into OS/2 Warp 4.
