RE: BPCS 3.0 Questions

["Baldauf, Dan" <DBaldauf@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The SYS programs are the BIG problem with BPCS Y2K conversions, However,
the folks at Nexgen have come up with a Y2K tool (Focus/2000) that is
able to deal with this challenge.  They are located in Naperville, IL -
you may want to give them a call.
