Y2K testing

[Ravenscroft, Wanda L]

If it's something your company can do, I would do it.  I work on a VMS
system and we have a development system set up whereby we can change the
date to a year 2000 date and it has been of great value to us.  We've found
and resolved alot of problems that we had not expected we would have.
