The software most sensitive to Y2K-problems are databases and spreadsheets. You can test this by changing the DATE to a date in the year 2000. Then run the program and see whether the date the program gives is correct, or some other date. Also there are programs that will crash with a date in 2000. If all goes well you can rely on the program to be ready for the next millennium. If something goes wrong, go after the "patches". Hans.
