Be sure to read Sirius's Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure page.

All Sirius Software products at (or newer than) the version shown on the attached list are Year 2000 Compliant in all material respects when used in accordance with the product documentation. Any versions of Sirius Products that are earlier than those shown on the list either are known not to be Year 2000 Compliant or have not been, and will not be, tested for Year 2000 compliance.

When we say that a Sirius Software product is "Year 2000 Compliant", we mean that insofar as the Sirius Software product processes date data, it will correctly process dates prior to, during and after the year 2000, within the range of dates supported by the Product, as described in the Product documentation, and the Product will recognize the year 2000 as a leap year; provided that all other components (such as hardware, software or firmware) used with the Sirius product properly exchange accurate and complete date data with the Sirius product in accordance with the documentation for the Sirius product.

As Sirius Software products are used in conjunction with the Model 204 DBMS, it is important to note that the Model 204 DBMS does not offer a date/time data type, nor is there any underlying storage format in Model 204 which can automatically store date data in an unambiguous format unless the date explicitly includes century digits. Dates stored with the four digit year included may be processed by Model 204 applications "as is", or in some cases may be converted by the application to a format which does not include century digits. Dates stored without century digits may be processed "as is", or may be converted to a format that includes century digits by the application code. Given this flexibility, it is important that each Model 204 customer test and , if necessary, modify its data and/or applications to ensure that dates spanning the century boundary will be processed correctly. Merely installing Sirius products that are Year 2000 Compliant will not cause Model 204 applications using those products to process dates correctly or to function correctly with dates after 1999.

Sirius Software products which can be used to pass data from Model 204 to external systems, as well as Sirius Software products designed for testing or facilitating year 2000 compliance of Model 204 programs or data, and the Sirius Software date $functions, provide the Model 204 programmer with either a windowing algorithm for determining the century of a two digit year date field, or a mechanism to specify the parameters needed by the windowing algorithm in an external system. All other Sirius Software products do not evaluate the contents of Model 204 fields or the contents of fields which may be loaded into Model 204, and therefore will read, write, display, and otherwise process that data "as is".
