Most (if not all) US banks are committed to freezing all software and computer hardware June 30 1999 I disagree, I speak to many top 100 banks and find IT projects rolling well past that date, moreover until three 3 months ago I worked specifically on Y2K projects, including very large banks. There will be a genral freeze on new development that touches the mainframe applications around October 1999 but that does not mean client server apps that run independent of the mainframe will freeze. Web bill pay, internet banking ect generally run on Unix and NT boxes, other than mapping the data to retrieve history files from the mainframe development should plod along. Banks should decide now on their web strategy/vendors ect and get the mainframe stuff done, go into pilot before the freeze and emerge afterward ready for the big roll out. IMHO Greegg
