The LISTSERV Support FAQ contains the following text as part of the answer to the question "Are L-Soft products Year 2000 compliant?": Beginning with version 1.8d, LISTSERV will be Year 2000 Compliant under all supported architectures except for VM, contingent on operating system support for Year 2000. LISTSERV (and LMail) for VM will become Year 2000 Compliant when L-Soft no longer has S/370 customers to support (which will happen in 1999, given that the version of VM used on the S/370 platform is not Year 2000 Compliant and the S/370 does not support XA). I interpret L-Soft's statement to mean that LISTSERV version 1.8d for VM is not Year 2000 Compliant, even when running under a release of VM/ESA which is Year 2000 Compliant. If I'm interpretting L-Soft's statement correctly, you are also saying that you will have Year 2000 Compliant releases of LISTSERV for VM-NJE, LISTSERV for VM-TCP and LMail sometime before 1-Jan-2000, but you aren't being any more specific about how much before 1-Jan-2000 these releases will be available. Is this interpretation correct? I speculate that L-Soft might want to wait until LISTSERV 1.8d is in general release before releasing the Year 2000 Compliant versions of LISTSERV for VM and LMail. Is that your intention? I'd like to raise the following concern. There are "Y2K Project Teams" that have schedules for dealing with the Y2K problem. Many of these teams have set a deadline by which all software will either be updated to a Year 2000 Compliant version or replaced by another package that is Year 2000 Compliant. After that deadline, they expect to devote their full time to verifying that all the (allegedly) Year 2000 Compliant systems are really Year 2000 Compliant. Some of these "Y2K Project Teams" have set the dealine for conversion to Year 2000 Compliant systems at 1-Jan-1999 (leaving all of 1999 available for testing). Other Y2K Project Teams have set other conversion deadlines closer to 1-Jan-2000. Since some testing is obviously necessary, no one wants to set the conversion deadline TOO close to 1-Jan-2000. In order to avoid giving a Y2K Project Team an excuse to do something rash, can L-Soft make some statement to the effect that "Year 2000 Compliant releases of LISTSERV for VM-NJE, LISTSERV for VM-TCP and LMail will be available no later than xxxx." where xxxx is some date L-Soft is confident that you can really meet and is also something that we have a chance of getting a Y2K Project Team to accept as giving them a comfortable amount of installation and testing time prior to 1-Jan-2000? /David Rosenberg
