IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE NATIONAL INSTITUE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY TIME
SERVER INFORMATION WEB PAGE, THE SOURCE CLOCK USES A JULIAN DATE TO ENSURE
YEAR 2000 COMPATIBILITY AND ENSURES NO ROLLOVER PROBLEM WITH THE SOURCE
STRATUM 1 SERVERS.  THE AMIGA VERSION HAS BEEN TESTED WITH THE A3000
AND THE NATIVE INSTALLED REAL TIME CLOCK USING AMIGAOS3.1 AND HAS
SUCCESSFULLY DEMONSTRATED THE YEAR 2000 ROLLOVER.  IN ADDITION TO
ROLLOVER, THE TEST AMIGA HAS SUCCESSFULLY DEMONSTRATED THE ABILITY TO
ACCEPT THE YEAR 00 AS A VALID YEAR DATE FOR INPUT AND CONVERTS THE YEAR
VALUE TO 2000.

NO OTHER TEST HAVE BEEN PERFORMED ON OTHER AMIGA MODELS, AND YEAR 2000
COMPLIANCE IS NOT IMPLIED WITH OTHER MODELS. IF ANY USERS WISH TO TEST AND
FORWARD VERIFICATION OF RESULTS TO ME, I WILL INCLUDE THE MODELS AS
TESTED AND APPROVED ALONG WITH THE A3000 LISTED BELOW. ONLY ONE SERIAL
NUMBER PER MODEL WILL BE LISTED ALONG WITH THE POINT OF CONTACT
(VERIFYING OFFICIAL).  AS A VERIFYING OFFICIAL YOU ARE UNDER NO LIABILITY OR
OBLIGATION TO ENSURE YEAR 2000 COMPATIBILITY, BUT ARE ATTESTING TO
SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETING THE YEAR 2000 TEST AS LISTED BELOW AND ENSURING ALL
INFORMATION IS TRUE. FURTHERMORE, YOU ARE VOLUNTEERING TO ACT AS A POINT OF
CONTACT FOR OTHER AMIGA USERS INTERESTED IN OR REQUIRING ASSISTANCE WITH
CLOCK RELATED ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR AMIGA MODEL AND CONFIGURATION.

YEAR 2000 TEST:

1) OPEN SHELL, SET DATE FOR Feb 4, 2000
   ENTER:   > date 04-02-00
   RESULT: no error
2) TYPE DATE
   ENTER:   > date
   RESULT: Friday 04-Feb-00 HH:MM:SS (your time)
3) OPEN PREFERENCES - TIME
   OBSERVE CALENDAR YEAR FIELD
   RESULT: 2000

THE LIST WILL BE POSTED ON THE AMIGA ATOMIC CLOCK WEB PAGE AND WITH EACH
DISTRIBUTION WITHIN THE ATOMIC.DOC FILE.

THE SOFTWARE IS YEAR 2000 COMPLIANT AS WRITTEN AND EMPLOYED ON THE CURRENT
AMIGAOS AND HARDWARE CONFIGURATIONS LISTED BELOW.
