There's no native rollover support in FPDOS, however, I've had good results using Y2KFOX with old FPDOS apps (including some versions of SBT) that otherwise had significant problems with Y2K issues. If you can't port the application to a Y2K compliant environment, it's a reasonable (albeit now fairly expensive) solution to keeping old FPDOS apps running without major recoding efforts.
