Sort of a silly question, actually. What you really should be asking is
whether the OS will freak out (an instant crash simply won't happen no
matter what), or the power will go out (unlikely at this point).
But for a program to be "Y2K-compliant", there first has to be some
reason why it wouldn't be. Anything that works with a date could perhaps
be suspect; but POV is simply a number cruncher, so it doesn't fall into
that category. And typically, date-related programs couldn't crash
either--they'd just cause some screwy result to happen.
This is sort of like asking if a program that adds 2+2 will crash if
your printer suddenly stops working--unless it's using the printer, the
program doesn't care.
