Innovative ideas for Y2K, Euro and other global needs
Significant postings related to the Year 2000 by Vic Fanberg covering such topics as:
 | How to disprove Y2K silver bullets |
| "Saving Time in Y2K Testing" presentation |
| The problem with playing statistics games in Y2K efforts (it is like thinking the Melissa Virus initially infected only one or two PCs, so it could be safely ignored) |
How many times do you want to "fix" the same spreadsheet whenever a change is required? Abater for Excel saves you significant effort by:
| Scanning all PCs looking for duplicate spreadsheets |
| Eliminating the need to change duplicate spreadsheets |
| Reducing the effort to change similar spreadsheets |
| Working with spreadsheets located on the same PC |
| Working with spreadsheets located on different PCs |
| Acting as an optional component to all other spreadsheet remediation tools without duplicating their cost or capability |
Professional programmers will appreciate the manual effort eliminated by FileCompare. This tool saves effort in Y2K testing by:
| Recognizing dates in compared files without providing detailed specifications to the tool | ||||||
| Not requiring the programmer to identify
| ||||||
| Setting up for complex comparisons in minutes rather than hours or days | ||||||
| Able to compare files that no other tool is able to compare | ||||||
| Utilizing artificial intelligence techniques to understand dates | ||||||
| Saving up to 40% of the effort of testing for Y2K compliance | ||||||
| Euro version is scheduled for first quarter 2000 |
Before any serious Y2K work can be performed on corporate wide PCs, an inventory of the software installed on the PCs is essential. RegDump inexpensively provides this information for Windows based programs by:
| Scanning the Windows operating system registry for clues of
installed software providing
| ||||||
| Scanning the desktop for additional icons of other software | ||||||
| Scanning the menuing system for menu items indicating other software |
