Fortunately (?), at my site, we use only vendor-supplied software
(Infinium Software/Software 2000 for financials, LSI for casino
accounting, Bally's SDS slot accounting system) so all my efforts run
along the lines of "Hey, are you guys gonna communicate with each
other properly?"

Not to say there ISN'T work to be done. PC evals (BIOS issues, basic
DOS usage + Windows) and PC-based software must be evaluated. Any
worksheets utilizing dates, PC and AS/400 customized programs and
in-house utilities/programs, stand-alone time clock system, NCR-based
cash register terminals, etc.

My "only" problem on the AS/400 side is making sure I'm current on the
OS (V3R2, V3R7) and that the vendors maintain communication so data
interchange is transparent after 2000/1/1. We will of course be
upgrading software during that time, but it's in the vendors' hands
that controls our Y2K problems.
