y2k is more complicated than I thought. The following is the synopsis from an article in Business Insurance, a magazine for reinsurers. The y2k problem is more complicated than anticipated. Even if a computer recognizes 00 as 2000, doubts exist as to whether computers can correctly determine that 2000 is a leap year. The rule is that the leap year is skipped in the last year of a century except when the year is divisible by 400. The article goes on to state that the first crucial date is 1/1/99 because some systems use 99 in the year field when they do not know what date to assign.The second important date is 9/9/99 since this is the "plug" date for other systems.

IAIC Gets West VA State Dept. of Tax & Revenue Y2K Contract: biz.yahoo.com Of significant note is that the remediation at IAIC's factory will include both UNICAST/2000 and CA's COBOL product, Fix/2000. This is the first time I recall seeing CA's product being used in IAIC's factory which means IAIC will be booking service revenues for utilizing BOTH UNICAST/2000 AND NON-UNICAST/2000 products. Demand for IAIC's outsourcing/factory approach is beginning to accelerate as time and labor resources become scarcer for government agencies and corporations.
