Year 2000 Software Crisis Solutions: for Legacy and Pc Systems

It is never too late to prepare for Year 2000 computer failures. Before it is too late, or even after Year 2000, computer failures must be fixed as quickly and inexpensively as possible in order to avoid major liabilities and potential financial losses for your business or organization. While many current news stories report frightening and dire potential consequences of the dreaded Y2K computer crisis, you should be aware that there are in fact many hundreds of proven solutions for Year 2000 computer failures. Many of these solutions are either fully automatic or can be easily implemented within relatively short periods of time, if you carefully follow all the guidelines and apply techniques and tools explained in this book. One of the first published books about the Y2K software crisis, this was the very first book to promote use of software factory techniques to help automate methods of fixing and testing both mainframe legacy and personal computer systems. Year 2000 Software Crisis Solutions was an early Y2K computer books best seller, and has been used by thousands of programmers and project managers as a resource in planning and budgeting Y2K software repair projects. It continues to be a valuable reference that every computer professional should keep near their desk in the last critical months before the end of 1999, as well as after Year 2000, when the urgency increases to quickly repair the systems that did not get completely fixed before the Year 2000.
