 The
LangBox International products have successfully passed
the Year 2000 certification process. In fact, after
the assessment phase, it appeared that there is no specific
date related business functionality within the LangBox
International Language supplement products. The reason
is because these products are just dealing with I/O
strings, fonts, keyboard mapping and character codeset
management, and don't embbed any date calculation routines.
The
only Y2K implication that exists within the LangBox
International product is the "Time Limited" licensing,
issued only to customers for demo or trial purposes.
For regular Permanent licenses ("UNLIMITED") this date
checking code is not used at all. In order to establish
the Y2K certification for all products, this specific
date function has been assessed and successfully tested
for the Year 2000 roll over problem, using the following
key dates :
- Thu
Sep 9 1999 : All fields set to '9' could be
test case.
- Fri
Dec 31 1999 : Last day of the current century and
millenium.
- Sat
Jan 1 2000 : First day of the next century
and millenium.
- Tue
Feb 29 2000 : First bi-sextil year of the new century.
- Sun
Dec 31 2000 : First year roll over of the new century.
- Sun
Sep 9 2001 : Unix time counter (in second
since Jan 1, 1970) rolls from 999.999.999 to 1.000.000.000
a 3:46:40 am.
