RE: Operation of Acrasoft Products After the Year 2000. Applies
to GroundControl Version 2.04 for Windows95/NT.
To Whom It May Concern:
GroundControl for Windows95/NT Operating Systems operate now and will continue to
operate as Year 2000 Compliant Products. There are no known date-related problems with
this product. GroundControl version 2.04 is Year 2000 compliant and will remain so in
future releases.
Specifically, all relevant Acrasoft products operate on standard date and time
conventions on the Windows95/NT operating systems. This has been tested in-house. All
GroundControl date related functions accept dates in four (4) digit year format. The
internal functions that handle standard date and time functions can be used to represent
dates between January 1, 1970, and January 18, 2038.
The following functions are all the date related GroundControl functions:
GetDate() *(See note below)
GetDateTime()
GetFileDateTime()
IsDateBefore()
IsDateAfter()
IsDateBetween()
IsDateEqual()
Our products on both the Windows95 and the Windows NT Operating Systems:
1) can be used prior to, during and after the calendar year 2000 without error relating
to date data;
2) will not abnormally end or provide invalid or incorrect results due to date data,
especially between centuries;
3) all calculations and logic of time-related data (dates, duration, days of week,
etc.) will produce the expected results for all valid date values within the applications.
4) Calculations and logic include sort algorithms, calendar generation, event
recognition, and all processing actions that use or produce date values.
5) For any date element represented without century, the correct century is unambiguous
for all manipulations involving that element,
6) and, the meaning of dates presented in reports and screens are unambiguous.
If you have further questions please feel free to contact our Tech Support staff at
your earliest convenience at support@acrasoft.com.

NOTE: GetDate returns a two digit year date
(mm/dd/yy). For backwards
compatibility, the GetDate function has not been changed. However, GroundControl will
correctly evaluate a date after 12/31/99 as ‘after.’ If you need to return a
date and are concerned with year 2000 issues use the GetDateTime function. The GetDateTime
function enables you to return a date in many different date formats.
