- Fixed following bugs in operations with LZX archives:

* Wrong decoding of date of files which are created after year of 2000
* Wrong decoding of date of archives which are created after year of 2000
* Rollback to 1970 year take a place after the year of 2006 (and switching
  to six-month count system)
* Expanded  years  range  to  2041  by  using reserved (in LZX only)
  year numbers 1970-1977, which aren't used by AmigaDos
 
Resume: supported range of years increased to maximal possible: 1978-2041.


- Fixed following bugs in operations with LHA archives:

* Wrong decoding of date of files which are created after year of 2000
* Wrong decoding of date of archives which are created after year of 2000
