C2i will also serve as a sales representative for Sapiens' Euro-Virtual-Machine Software. Lastly, C2i will engage Sapiens as a subcontractor to provide services to C2i Solutions' clients. ''The EMU conversion challenge is not unlike the Y2K challenge facing the world today,'' said John Whalen, president and chief executive officer of C2i Solutions. ''The addition of Sapiens-Euro to the C2i toolshed opens up a new $150 billion market for C2i.'' Sapiens-Euro is an integrated set of software tools, documentation, and methodologies that address the entire Euro conversion lifecycle, including assessment, analysis, configuration mapping, wrapping, data and code conversions, re-engineering, project management and testing and also includes Sapiens' ''Euro- Virtual-Machine'' (''E-V-M''). In May 1998, the eleven member states of the European Monetary Union (EMU) formally announced a plan to adopt a single European currency, the Euro, by 2002. E-V-M is designed to enable C2i to provide an effective bridging solution for companies who must modify their single-currency systems to behave as dual currency systems during the three-year transition period to a single European currency. ..."

However, Excel 95 only treats numbers between 0 and 19 as being in the 21st century. If your spreadsheet requires dates early in this century (say, 1902) or late in the next one (2080), type in a four-digit year like this: 3/3/1902. A related problem crops up when you display dates. If you set the cell formatting to display years with two digits, you won't see the difference between the years 1920 and 2020. Since Excel uses an internal representation for dates, this is just cosmetic and won't affect calculations based on the year.
