74.0. "Y2K ready OVMS V6.2 in the form of patch or OS" by HGOVC::CHRISTSANG () Sun May 04 1997 23:48

    Hello,
    
    The customer, the Stock Exchange, would inquire when the Y2000 ready
    OpenVMS V6.2 is released end of calendar year 1997, does it come in the
    form of a software OS patch, or does the customer need to re-install
    the OS over again.
    
    Please advise.
    
    
    Best regards
    Chris

	We haven't begun serious work on V6.2, since our investigation on V7.1 isn't even complete yet. Given the low incidence of bugs, though, it's likely to be a patch kit. Please make no customer promises at this time since the details of delivery are not nailed down. Karen.

	And in addition, please recommend that the customer examine DIGITAL's available Y2K material (posted at the web site, and available here), and please strongly encourage the customer to commence the necessary Y2K-related testing of the local configuration and local applications (the testing procedure is included in the Y2K material)... OpenVMS Y2K is just one part of the whole Y2K "puzzle", something that a stock market should be well aware of...
