"Year 2000" Readiness & OS/2 Warp

Information

The information has originally been taken from websites of IBM (see links below) or from the documentation of the respective products/components.
If a product is not listed on this page, I have not been able to find any information about it. Nevertheless, the respective product or component could be "Year 2000" ready or compliant (31.12.99 rolls over to 01.01.00 correctly) at least.
The date marks the day I have inserted the entry, not the beginning of the listed status!
