Hello Art:

I'm not sure about the validity of the suit. But it you are running FoxPro,
it certainly is possible that you have the millennium bug. You will have
to test each application individually.

My company, Communication Horizons, has an easy millennium fix for FoxPro
Windows, FoxPro DOS, and FoxBase+. All you do is specify the century rollover
year, and 2-digit years automatically default to the correct century.

You can find out more at http://www.y2kfox.com/y2kfox.htm.

Truly,

Maureen Weicher
