the year by the last two digits, and it's almost the end of a century
("'98" or something like that.)

Yes I have some notes and corrections but since the author, (John W. Braue,
III), isn't in contact anymore no changes are possible.

 So (A) "Last two digits"
On 2002-6-2   JJ Brannon wrote:

Vortimes || 	2968 Miles born

According to p. 232 of _Borders of Infinity_, 
Miles arrive at Dagoola Prison Camp #3 in November '97 Earth CE. 
He is 24 at the time. 
Whatever century he was born in, the last two digits should be 73 (or
possibly 72 or 74). ==

That's the only precise date IIRC so maybe all the dates should be +5

And (B)  2002-03-12

Vortimes || 	c. 2550  Settlement of Athos.

I suggest
 		c. 2610  Settlement of Athos. 
(EoA has "almost two hundred years" this makes it ~185 rather than ~245)

Because this is impossible before

 		c. 2575  Uterine replicator a working device
