Latest copy of Information Week (Dec 8 copy)has an article titled
"Y2K Stragglers". Does not mention TPRO but does mention embedded chips and gives an example of a large oil compay that assumed they did not have a y2k problem. But while testing equipment that controls oil valves in its refineries engineers inadvertently discoverd a host of new problems. Thousands of terminals that control the dispensation of oil have old chips with a y2k problem. The new y2k complaint chips do not fit the old motherboard and the new motherboards do not fit the old valves.

Later in the article it states the an oil company's greatest exposure may lie in the embedded chips that run refinery equipment.
