Operating system and code is save. The UNIX time stamp is used. Therefore year 2000 should not cause problems. Some old DOS PC may cause problems. Some bugs in the server will be removed.
Patches are prepared.
The server is moved to another host with new operating system. No big problems are expected. D. Notz reported on problems with Motorola 147 OS9 computers. If they are not used for a while it could happen that the batteries for the real-time clock chip get empty. If one uses the latest header files one is routed to the new server.
