Questions:
We have a DEC ALPHA unit running applications in OpenVMS.
Does the operating system have a problem at the year 2000.
I heard Sun Work Stations have a problem at year 2038.
Is there literature on this for OpenVMS?
Thanks...

Please see the OpenVMS home page for information on the Year 2000.

The year 2038 is -- among other things -- the year when the C language
and UNIX time format implementation -- a longword containing the number
of seconds since the UNIX base date of 1-Jan-1970 -- "goes negative".
