Subject: FW: Y2k Info at http://www.vni.com/products/y2k.
Here are answers to your year 2000 questions, forwarded to me from Nancy
Meneely:
1. According to the Web page at the addressing the subject, IMSL Fortran
Numerical Libraries, version 3.0, 3.01 and IMSL Fortran 90 MP Library,
Version 3.0, 3.01 have been tested for Year 2000 compliance. Does this
implicitly mean that they also passed the test (with the exception of
the required patch for TDATE)?
yes
2. We are running IMSL version 3.0. Therefore, once the TDATE patch is
installed, this product will be y2k compliant. Is this correct?
yes
3. We are running IMSL version 1.0 of the Fortran 90 MP Library. Your
Web info specifies versions 3.0,3.01. What about version 1.0?
We have not tested any versions of the Fortran 90 MP library prior
to 3.0 for year 2000 compliance.

Subject: Year 2000 Compliance for IMSL
According to the information on year 2000 compliance presented
at
http://WWW.VNI.COM/products/millennium_not.html
the IMSL librares are year 2000 compliant as long as the user
uses 4 digit dates in his calling programs. I looked at some
of the date programs in the MATH library and I found that the
user is pretty much constrained to user 4 digit dates, which
is fine, of course (at least for the routines I looked at:
ndays,idywk).
Am I correct then in assuming that there are no calls in any of
the routines to any system routines which call date routines (e.g.,
getdate) which could lead to problems?
This being the case, the MATH and STAT libraries are 100% year 2000
compliant. Correct?

To help you understand the terms used in this report, please review the
"report definition" document which can be found in the product readiness
web pages (link from www.ibm.com/ibm/year2000). For additional assistance
please contact your IBM representative or the Year 2000 Technical Support
Center at www.software.ibm.com/year2000.
Year 2000 Ready Definition :
IBM uses the term "Year 2000 ready" to refer to products that will
function correctly into the 21st century. Specifically, "Year 2000
ready" means that "a product, when used in accordance with its
associated documentation, is capable of correctly processing,
providing and/or receiving date data within and between the 20th and
21st centuries, provided that all products (for example, hardware,
software and firmware) used with the product properly exchange accurate
date data with it."
IBM considers products not ready for Year 2000 if they don't meet the
definition set out above, or if they have not been tested. Products
not affected by the Year 2000, such as hardware frames, keyboards,
power supplies, and hardware or software product publications are
considered ready.
IBM Position on the Readiness of its Products:
For general overview of the ready status of IBM products, please visit
the IBM Year 2000 web site at www.ibm.com/year2000.
Software Provided with IBM Products:
Information referring to the Year 2000 ready status of IBM hardware
products refers to hardware only and not to software that may be
pre-installed or otherwise provided by IBM with the purchase of IBM
hardware.
Information on the Year 2000 ready status of IBM software applies to
IBM products only. It does not apply to any "as is" or non-IBM
software that may be provided along with IBM software products.
For non-IBM products, whether or not obtained from IBM, please consult
directly with the third party product developer for information about
whether the products are Year 2000 ready. In some cases IBM may
pass along information that third parties have provided us about the
status of their products. However, IBM is not in a position to
independently verify, or accept any responsibility for, the accuracy
or completeness of such information.
Other Important Information:
IBM is providing this information to assist you in understanding and
addressing your Year 2000 challenge. By providing this data,
IBM is not performing a Year 2000 assessment or conversion. You are
solely responsible for the implementation of your Year 2000
project and IBM does not guarantee your results.
IBM may not offer the products, services and/or features discussed in
this document in all countries. Consult with your IBM
representative for information on the products available in
your area. Any reference to an IBM product is not intended

REPLY :
Jack.
ESSL V2.2, 5799FLJ, is year 2000 ready. The product is in our readiness
database at URL: http://wwwyr2k.raleigh.ibm.com Some information is missing
in the record for this product and we cannot send you a readiness report right
now. As soon as all the necessary information becomes available, we will send
you a report for this product. We are putting your record on HOLD status until
the product record is updated.
Following is IBM's definition of year 2000 ready. This definition is contained
within reports generated from the Product Readiness Database.
"Year 2000 Ready Definition :
IBM uses the term "Year 2000 ready" to refer to products that will
function correctly into the 21st century. Specifically, "Year 2000
ready" means that "a product, when used in accordance with its
associated documentation, is capable of correctly processing,
providing and/or receiving date data within and between the 20th and
21st centuries, provided that all products (for example, hardware,
software and firmware) used with the product properly exchange accurate
date data with it."
IBM considers products not ready for Year 2000 if they don't meet the
definition set out above, or if they have not been tested. Products
not affected by the Year 2000, such as hardware frames, keyboards,
power supplies, and hardware or software product publications are
considered ready."
IBMs preferred method of implementing changes for year 2000 is field expansion,
i.e., 2 digit year to 4 digit year. Some products, however, may have used a
fixed or sliding window to achieve year 2000 readiness. Our readiness reports
may include this information. Also, you may contact IBM service and support
(1-800-237-5511) and speak to the individual product areas for that
information.

(following was faxed to Lindy Brown at SGI on january 12. It included
a copy of the mail received from Bruce Schneider that follows).
Dear Lindy,
In March, 1988 Bruce Schneider (then, Product Marketing
Mangager, Operating Systems with Cray) told me that the libsci library
(which we have installed on our J90) was year 2000 compliant
(see his note below) and that this info would be added to the
(then) Cray Year 2000 Web pages. I have searched the SGI/Cray
web pages recently and didn't find any such info.
This is a request to add this information. We need this
information for our y2k web page dealing with vendors
of application software that the university uses (http://www.

More or less. Basically they do the same thing, both are Fortran
callable libraries, but Exponent Graphics is more extensive.
<<<< If di3000 is still supported, is it year 2000 compliant? >>>>
According to our Boulder support staff, you can still purchase support
for the di3000 but no further development work is being done on it.
They also stated that it was year 2000 compliant as long as the user
expressly uses 4-digit dates.

Email sent to vni contained:
Questions:
. Is the di3000 library owned by vni and does
exponent graphics replace di3000?
. If di3000 is still supported, is it year 2000
compliant?
. The statement on web page at http://www.vni.com.
products/millennium_not.html says that all vni
products are year 2000 compliant. Therefore,
exponent graphics as well as the imsl libraries are
year 2000 compliant, correct? We need a
definitive statement for our records.

xfig doesn't use any dates or times except those provided by the underlying
operating system.

SGI has nothing to do with xfig. They choose to provide it to their users
but that is their only role. You will find xfig on many different venders'

Dan,
Are the patches you mentioned below those that bring Fortran
up to y2k compliance? From SunSolve, I found that the patch you mentioned
(104529 "jumbo" patch) includes patch 4039702 which corrects a problem
with routine "idate" (retrurns incorrect year for 2001), but I don't
know if that's the only y2k non-compliance. I doubt it because Sun
says the patches bring the fortran workshop including f77, f90
and their performance program up to compliance, but I don't know.
Sun's mail on the subject is below.

AcuCobol Contact
On 2/16/1998 talked to AcuCobol people including a technician. They said that
version 2.1 is y2k compliant in the sense that it will function
after 2000. However, it does not have the ability to get 4-digit
years from the OS, which version 4.1does. In 2.1 asking for a year
will give you a 2-digit year. They recommended replacement with version
4.1.
------
E-mail sent to info@acucobol.com on 1/28/1998 asking if
version 2.1.1 which we have is year 2000 compliant.

Elan,
Thank you for your recent response to my question about the
Fortran compiler and y2k compliance. Can you help with the following.
According to Sun's web page on y2k product compliance, the
Sun Workshop for Ada at version 1.1.1 and later is y2k compliant.
However this does not tell me specifically about the version of ada
we have on our system which is version 3.0 of ada. Is Version 3.0
of ada y2k compliant? And, if not, what versions of ada are?

Hello Jack,
I'm not sure implementation detailed things but generally Scheme is not
related with such a problem - e.g. in standard Scheme spec, there is not
date related operations.
Of course, scm has - if my memory serves me - date related operations. Maybe
the original writer of Scm is clever enough to avoid Y2000 problem. Also
there is universal time package in Slib, using this you get a fair of semi
standard date operation.
I think the Y2000 problem is almost for Cobol. When you use high level
enough programming lanugages, you never concern about such a stupid problem.
Happy Lisping,
