Since the Y2K problem can infect almost any business, its shippers and its suppliers, people who want to buy businesses need contractual warranties to protect themselves when Year 2000 arrives. Such warranties can require Y2K compliance of the seller's systems, and of systems operated by vendors, shippers, customers and others. Planning may be critical for many business people. This involves finding Y2K problems, whether in company computers, in building alarm systems, or in the shops, offices and plants of the people with whom you do business. Then, you figure out what to do to fix things.
