I finally took me the needed 10 minutes time to make a ScalaScript that will
do what you need. I have uploaded it to the "files" area as
"Y2K_CountDown.sca". The script is made to work both in MM200 and in IC
Designer. It is uploaded in the editable form.

Below is a copy of that file:

!ScalaScript
EVENT
Group:
Config.SaveOpts();
Sequence:
:"Start"
EVENT
      Group:
      Integer(days[12], current_month, days_left, hours, minutes);
      Sequence:
      :"Set up month array"
      EVENT
          Group:
           days[1] = 31;
           days[2] = 28;
           days[3] = 31;
           days[4] = 30;
           days[5] = 31;
           days[6] = 30;
           days[7] = 31;
           days[8] = 31;
           days[9] = 30;
           days[10] = 31;
           days[11] = 30;
           days[12] = 31;
      END
      current_month = systime(Month)+1;
      days_left = days[SysTime(Month)]-SysTime(Day);
      :"Calculate the days left"
      EVENT
          Group:
           While ( current_month < 13 );
          Sequence:
           days_left = days_left+days[current_month];
           current_month = current_month + 1;
      END
      hours = 23-SysTime(Hour);
      minutes = 59-SysTime(Minute);
      :"Show days left to year 2000"
      EVENT
          Group:
           Display();
           Pause(1);
           Text(20, 20, "There is^n!days_left days,^n!hours hours
and^n!minutes minutes left to year 2000");
      END
END
END
