Overview

In an effort to help departments determine and resolve potential problems with their servers, workstations, and personal computers as we approach the year 2000 (Y2K), Information Systems and Technology (IST) has created this Web site to share Y2K information on the most common personal computing and UNIX platforms on campus.

We update this site frequently to maintain current information on issues related to hardware, operating systems, popular vendor-supplied applications, shareware, and freeware. To help ensure the timeliness of this information, we will include links to many other sites.

Considerable verification work and modifications have already been completed on the UIS mainframe. IST will create a test environment to verify Y2K compliance for facilities fully maintained by IST, such as ACS and the Application Server that provides campus-wide access to executable programs for UNIX systems.

While IST will ensure Y2K compliance for ACS and the Application Server, responsibility for departmental UNIX and personal computing systems remains with the departments. We will make every effort to make this site useful to you as you do your own inventory, evaluation, testing, and resolution of Y2K problems.
