I heard the same thing about 236 vs 436.  Could be true. Hate to take a chance
for the minor price difference.

AFAIK there are no S/36 applications for Y2K correction process.  You may be 
able
to find a company in your area which is willing to let you put your source code
on their machine and let you run it through their impact/upgrade product.  Don't
know, but there may be companies that provide this kind of service.  You may 
want
to check with the vendors for Y2K analysis applications, but I think they charge
by line of code and it could be pretty spendy.
