Re: Year 2000
From: Peter Graham, Rutgers University Libraries Rutgers signed a contract with Sirsi this year which called for a 2000-compliant system (OPAC etc.). They were happy to sign as they claim to have been dealing with this for some time, and since they are unix-based I'm not surprised. For language we used the Federal language, which I got from a site I forget but if necessary can probably locate, as follows: "Year 2000: The vendor warrants that each hardware, software, and firmware product delivered by Sirsi under this contract shall be able to accurately process date data (including, but not limited to, calculating, comparing, and sequencing) from, into, and between the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, including leap year calculations, when used in accordance with the product documentation provided by the vendor, provided that all listed or unlisted products (e.g. hardware, software, firmware) used in combination with such listed product properly exchange date data with it." --pg NEW ZIP: Peter Graham psgraham@rci.rutgers.edu Rutgers University Libraries 169 College Ave., New Brunswick, NJ 08901-1163 phone: (732)445-5908 fax (732)445-5888 <URL:http://aultnis.rutgers.edu/pghome.html>
