No.

You get what you pay for ... or in this case ... you didn't get what
you didn't pay for :)

There are four date simulation tools that can be used for Y2K testing.
In order of increasing effectiveness:

   SETDATE
      ...big gap...
   TimeMachine
   TimeWarp
      ...big gap...
   HourGlass 2000 for the HP 3000    (ok, so we also have the longest name :)
                                     (we're also the only 100% effective tool)

Test all of them.  For fun, try:   :calc !["HP" + "DATEF"]

Info about ours is at: http://www.allegro.com/hourglass2000/hp3000
A demo is available for free over the web, any time.
