Development
and Testing
TypingMaster, Inc. has taken the Y2K problem into
consideration and is verifying that its products produce
correct results both before and after year 2000.
Four Digit Year Format
All the TypingMaster products display the dates in Four
Digit Format. Four Year Digit Format means the format
which contains all four digits of the calendar year.
All the TypingMaster products store the dates in proper
format, either in Four Digit Format or using double data
type. The integral part of a data value is the number of
days that have passed since 12/30/1899. The fractional
part of a data value is fraction of a 24 hour day that
has elapsed.
Developing Tools
The latest TypingMaster products have been developed
using the Borland Delphi 4 with update pack #2 or newer
which allows Y2 compatible product development. You can
read more at
http://www.borland.com/about/y2000/delphi.html
Tested Date Issues
The functionality of the programs has been tested in year
2000 and between years 1999-2000, also the date input and
output fields have been tested. Mainly the TypingMaster
products are using the dates for internal use and in some
products dates are printed out in various reports. The
printed out reports are using the systems services
for date formatting. Internal use of dates stores dates
in double data type and relies to the reliable date
processing functions offered by the developing tools such
as Delphi 4.
Warranties
Warranties of TypingMaster, Inc. products are set forth
in the end user license agreements that accompany our
products, and we recommend that you read these warranties
in order to fully understand your rights. Any information
that TypingMaster, Inc. provides regarding the Year 2000

These pages and the information provided are not a
substitute for your testing and analysis of your systems
and configuration(s). Do not rely on these pages or
information provided in validating the Year 2000
readiness status of TypingMaster, Inc. products.
TypingMaster, Inc. has made every effort to ensure the
accuracy of its product testing. However, because each
customer's environment is different from TypingMaster,
Inc. laboratory test environment, it is the customer's
responsibility to validate the Year 2000 readiness of
these products in their own environment. Therefore,
information about the Year 2000 status of TypingMaster,
Inc. products is provided "as is" without
warranties of any kind.
Note also that not all operating systems are year 2000
compatible according to their manufacturers. For
instance:
You should apply Service Pack 4 or later to Windows NT 4.0
workstations Novell Netware versions 4.10 and 3.12 should
be updated to 3.2, 4.2 or more recent version.
Many Computer systems do not take into account that year
2000 is a leap year. This means that February during the
year 2000 has 29 days.
