My memory may be failing, but I thought it was FP6 which made Warp4 Y2K
compliant. (However, it may have been FP5... in which case you are alright). I 
think this may have been the concern of some of the mail you have received.
Other than that, I'm a firm believer in the old adage "if it ain't broke,
don't fix it" (I've done it too many times myself).
