Is DOS/4GW Professional Year 2000 compliant?
Yes. DOS/4GW Professional does not use dates for any processing or logic.
Therefore, DOS/4GW Professional is Year 2000 compliant.
DOS/4GW Professional does pass the DOS interrupts relating to getting
and setting the system dates through without processing. Since these
interrupts should support dates through 2099, there is no Year 2000
problem -- unless DOS (or the DOS emulation you are using) is not
Year 2000 compliant.
Will my DOS/4GW Professional program be Year 2000 compliant?
No, not automatically. Your DOS/4GW Professional program depends upon a number
of different systems: DOS and the BIOS (or the simulation you are
using), DOS/4GW Professional, and your program's code. It will only be Year 2000
compliant if all three are.
Yes, as far as DOS/4GW Professional is concerned.
Are earlier versions of DOS/4GW Professional Year 2000 compliant?
Probably, for the same reason version 2.01 is.
However, we have
not inspected the source of earlier versions for Year 2000 compliance,
and can therefore make no definitive statements about earlier versions.
If you need to insure Year 2000 compliance of your DOS/4GW Professional-based application,
you should upgrade to the the latest version of DOS/4GW Professional.
