* IBM Y2K Fix For IBM PC DOS *
Microsoft has stated it will not add Year 2000 readiness to Windows
3.x or MS-DOS. IBM, on the other hand, is releasing a fixpak for
PC-DOS version 7 in 17 languages that supports Year 2000
applications. Furthermore, IBM is offering promotional upgrade
pricing for resellers. And all current DOS users, even those with
MS-DOS, are eligible to upgrade rather than to purchase as new.
In addition to you can download the actual fixes by selecting the
country and read me files below.
This download only works with versions of IBM PC DOS 7.0.

* Year 2000 (Y2K) The Rumors *
The year 2000 has gotten a good deal of publicity as the
apocalypse of the 21st century. A time when all computers
will crash, people will cease to exist, money will be lost and
forgotten. Predictions for 2000 January 1 claim that an
unprecedented disaster unknown in the modern era will
welcome us into the new millennium. This disaster will be
brought about by our current computer usage.

* Y2K - A PC Sanity Check *
Executive Summary:
If you use your PC for mostly personal use, and don't
normally care whether the time and date on your machine are
accurate or not - (for example, do you check to see whether
February 29th is handled properly in leap years?) - then any
problems with the year 2000 on your PC are not likely to be
of great concern to you.
