Upgrading Purchased Applications
-
Don't assume that just because you use packaged software your software supplier will attend to
all the problems. What if you have special customised routines, or have done some "in house"
additions or modifications? Finding and resolving differences between your customized
production application and the package "Year 2000" release will be a time-consuming and
error-prone task.

Year 2000 Issues List
-
Serge Bouwens - The following overview is an attempt to organize the
growing lists of issues associated with the year 2000 problem. It will
help us to estimate the magnitude of the problem ahead, plan the
project, specify the requirements for tools and hopefully prevent the
experience that halfway through testing our programs we suddenly
realize we didn't check on THAT particular problem previously.
