Banks unprepared for millennium bug

The survey of banks, prepared by the London-based Financial Times newspaper group, shows that 250 of the 1000 top banks worldwide will not be fully millennium bug compliant by December 1998.

The cut-off at the end of this year is an internationally accepted deadline that allows a full year for testing of information technology and other computer-related systems.
