March 26, 1997

Dear Century Customer/Partner:

Subject: Year 2000 Compliance

The Year 2000 Problem:
The Year 2000 problem is the result of the common practice of using two digits instead of four to represent years in dates.  Many computer applications written in the last three decades did not provide for the fact that the century would change during the lifetime of the application.  Many installed computer applications (including those in client/server environments) that use two digits (YY) instead of four digits (CCYY) to represent year values in programs, may cause incorrect results in arithmetic operations, comparisons, and data sorting

Year 2000 compliant applications are capable of correct identification, manipulation, and calculation using dates outside of the 1900-1999 year range.

Century Software’s Year 2000 Compliance Performance Warranty:

Century Software warrants and represents that it’s product’s beginning with the April 15, 1997 release are and will continue to be Year 2000 compliant.  All date processing by our products will include four digit year codes.  Additionally, all date sorting by Century’s products that includes a “year category” shall be done based on the four digit year code.

In the event that a Century product released after April 15, 1997 is not Year 2000 compliant Century Software will upgrade that product to a Year 2000 compliant Century product at no cost to the customer.

Sincerely,

Michael Feaster
Director of Product Development,
Century Software Inc.
