AM-UTILS YEAR-2000 COMPLIANCE Most likely am-utils is y2k compliant. I do not know for sure because I have not certified am-utils myself, nor do I have the time for it. I do not think that amd will be affected by y2k at all, because it does not do anything with dates other than print the date on the log file, in whatever format is provided by your os/libc --- especially the ctime(3) call. However, on Friday, September 18th 1998, Matthew Crosby <mcrosby@ms.com> reported that they evaluated 6.0a16 and found it to be compliant. On March 26, 1999, Paul Balyoz <pbalyoz@sedona.ch.intel.com> submitted a patch to lostaltmail which makes it print Y2K compliant dates. He used a code scanner and manually "eyeballed" the code and could not find any more problems. Paul's patch is included in am-utils-6.0.1s7 and newer versions. Paul also said that other 2-digit years used in am-utils are "harmless." NOTE: NONE OF THE PERSONS MENTIONED HERE, AUTHOR INCLUDED, ARE WILLING TO CERTIFY AM-UTILS AS Y2K COMPLIANT. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. --- Erez Zadok. Maintainer, am-utils package and am-utils list. Email: am-utils@am-utils.org WWW: http://www.am-utils.org
