Year 2000

King Stairs Software products are millennium-compliant for the following reasons:
  1. Most King Stairs Software products do not use dates at all, so are automatically compliant.
  2. When dates are used, they are stored internally in a serial format which is not dependent on a year.
  3. The current date/time is retrieved from the operating system directly.
  4. When dates are printed or displayed, the users locale settings for date/time formatting are used, which should be millennium-compliant already. Where a products provides a choice of date formats for display, millennium-compliant choices are included.
