Year 2000 Considerations -
Gage Management System for Windows

We have prepared the following to allay concerns about GMS for Windows v3.0 and v4.0 Software. Past versions of our software are not included in these considerations. The four primary points of the Y2K issue are described below. We want to state that we have tested all functions of the software to the best of our ability and state our findings here. Please realize that this is not a guarantee and, in no way, modifies the terms of our user license agreement which you accepted as you installed our software.

1. Storage and calculations of date year in an unambiguous fashion 4 digit fashion GMS for Windows uses a four digit year in all internal data storage. 
2. Converts 2 digit year date shortcuts into unambiguous four-digit format GMS for Windows converts dates with 2 digit years between 50- 99 to 1950-1999. 2 digit dates 00-49 are converted to 2000-2049.
3. Correctly calculates and displays all leap year dates for the expected life of the product version (five years). As 4 digit dates, GMS for Windows safely accomplishes this.
4. Does not use special dates (such as 99/99/99) to flag error or deletion conditions. GMS for Windows does not use any of these techniques.
