Abstract: As the year 2000 rapidly approaches, an anxious clock is ticking for the world business community. When the twentieth century ends, many software applications will either stop working or produce erroneous results because their logic cannot accept the transition from 1999 to 2000. This problem is embedded in millions of aging software applications, and the costs of fixing the year 2000 software problem may constitute the single greatest expense in history.
