     In translation software written by hackers, infix 2 often represents
     the syllable to with the connotation `translate to': as in dvi2ps
  (DVI
     to PostScript), int2string (integer to string), and texi2roff
  (Texinfo
     to [nt]roff). Several versions of a joke have floated around the
     internet in which some idiot programmer fixes the Y2K bug by changing
