Y2K info for Lotus 1-2-3


Lotus 1-2-3  -   this software is bundled with the Lotus SmartSuite. All versions since 2.x of 1-2-3 (and of all SmartSuite applications) are compliant. If you have an older version, it is recommended that you upgrade to a compliant version. All compliant versions explicitly store the year using four digits. Versions up through Release 5 assume that all two-digit years occur in the 20th century. 1-2-3 '97 uses a "fixed window" approach - two-digit years 00-49 are assumed to be in the 21st century, and 50-99 are assumed to be in the 20th century. This behavior can be disabled to emulate earlier versions for compliance with older macros. 1-2-3 Millenium implements a "sliding window", in which the user can pick a 100-year range to map two-digit years into. For more information consult Lotus's Y2K page for Lotus 1-2-3.
