RE: Microsoft Sued over Y2K Issue

Did MS ever say that FoxPro was Y2K ready? Can I sue Ashton Tate for a dBase
program that a client has that may not be Y2K ready? It was only written in
the mid 80s. <G>

Ruth is just upset that Microsoft is doing its best to kill FoxPro in favour
of Access. <BG>

The first (acording to IDG News Service) Y2K lawsuit against Microsoft was
filed on Dec. 10 in Chicago District Court by Ruth Kaczmarek. Ruth, a
FoxPro developer, alleges that FoxPro 2.5 and 2.6 and Visual FoxPro 3.0 do
not automatically recognize 2000 as a new century and instead render
two-digit dates as 20th century dates.
