Institute Says 2000 Bug More Than Computer Problem LONDON - Programmers are striving to cleanse the so-called millennium bug from their computer systems, but the problem may exist in countless other systems which are controlled by computer chips, The Institution of Electrical Engineers said today. ''Most people now know that things may well go wrong with their computers because of date changes and the Millennium. Far fewer people are aware that for every ''ordinary'' computer, there are up to 100 intelligent devices embedded in a vast range of equipment,'' the IEE said in a statement. These devices include telephone systems, copiers, heating and ventilation systems, security, water and sewerage systems, manufacturing and process control. The IEE made the statement in conjunction with the publication of a report, ''Embedded Systems and the Year 2000 Problem,'' which it hopes will bring the problem to the public's attention and offer advice on how to solve problems with chips. - - - - - Copyright, Reuters Ltd.
