|
| Information |
The components of the base operating system should correctly handle the year numbers from 2000
since FixPaks XR*W032 (Warp 3) and XR*M004 (Warp 4).
Nevertheless, it seems advisable to choose a more current FixPak.
Warp Server for e-Business and the
Convenience Packages are delivered "Year 2000" ready.
