Zebra,

This is good advice. I myself have found that going back to TAVA's y2kone site has answered present questions that I did not have upon first reading. For instance:

The hardware is upgraded first. Then, operating systems are
upgraded or replaced. Next, packaged software fixes or upgrades
are installed and custom code is updated. Testing and verifying
upgraded systems is as important, and may be even more time
consuming, than installing the upgrades themselves. Testing
procedures have to be developed and then employed,
system-by-system and component-by-component. Finally, training
sessions on the new systems are scheduled for the operations and
supervisory staffs.

In keeping with the goal of using this occasion to improve
performance of production operations, systems that may be
obsolete or need performance improvements are planned for
retirement or replacement.

This would indicate to me that since many embedded processors are dependent upon the operating system or installed software for date instructions that many manufacturers might have been delayed in their efforts in implementation until their software vendors provided upgrades.
Thus my perception of Wonderware Factorysuite2000 for instance has changed somewhat in that I now consider it not just a distribution channel, but a major impetus to companies using their software to get the rest of their y2k factory floor work started. This rollout removes a major bottleneck for organized implementation of the whole shooting match.

Best Wishes,

Gerry
