ASSOFT . has been preparing for the new millennium for some time now, ensuring that you will not experience any of the so-called year 2000 problems when using our current line of software products. This preparation has involved extensive testing of our products and our systems.
We are happy to announce that our products have been tested for year 2000 compliance and that our products released after June 1998 are year 2000 compliant. "Year 2000 compliant" means that our software correctly processes the date within and between the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, provided that all products used with the software, over which ASSOFT has no control (for example hardware, operating system software, and firmware), are year 2000 compliant.
ASSOFT software dependency on dates is very low, with possible dependencies being on license management, date display and files handling.

Year 2000 Compliance and Status of Assoft Software.
T.A.M.E.S.            -: year 2000 compliant starting with release of versions 2.02

Year 2000 Compliance and Operating Systems
Assoft's products derive date and time information from the operating system of the computer upon which they are running. This information is procured by standard system calls. If the computer's operating system is not year 2000 compliant, Assoft's products will reflect this operating system shortcoming inasmuch as they will report the incorrect date provided by the operating system in response to standard system calls. Thus, it is imperative the operating system is year 2000 compliant.
Information on achieving year 2000 compliance for our major hardware partners may be obtained on the World Wide Web.
If the hardware and operating system software are not in a state of year 2000 compliance, we cannot be held responsible for any problems encountered in the functioning of our software in time and date related routines. Also, Assoft. cannot test every possible use of our software with third party applications and operating systems to assure lack of problems in the year 2000 transition.
Testing method
Assoft. has performed detailed code reviews and testing to verify that our software operates normally in general operation and functionality, in processing dates and date-dependent data, and in the functioning of license management. The following test methods were used to ensure year 2000 compliance:

• Verification that our license manager (1332.05) functions correctly with dates greater than December 31, 1999 and during the transition between the 20th and 21st centuries.
  
• Writing, reading and displaying data sets with dates greater than December 31, 1999.
  
• Reading and displaying data sets on dates greater than December 31, 1999 but with these data sets saved prior to December 31, 1999.
  
• We believe that this letter and the information contained within should address all your concerns. Due to the large number of inquiries we are receiving, we regret that we will not be able to supply individual responses or fill out custom questionnaires.
