                               YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE TEST

Wait! Don't spend thousands of dollars upgrading your PC when you might not
even need to! 

Have it checked out first! This amazing new software will save you hundreds of
dollars! 

Upon execution of the test with the BEGIN button the system will be tested for
initial Year 2000  compliance. This is determined by testing the BIOS Real Time
Clock (RTC) for each year beginning with 1997 to determine Year 2000 
Compliance.

 If the RTC fails the Year 2000 compliance test in the year  2000, this will be
reported as a non-compliant system and will provide further details and
solutions. 

 If the system initially passes the Year 2000 compliance test it will continue
to test the RTC through each year beyond the year 2000 to determine how far
into the next century the system is compliant. The final year that the RTC will
pass
Year 2000 compliance is reported.

 After testing the BIOS Real Time Clock (RTC) the software will begin testing
the BIOS for Leap Year  compliance. It will determine what year "leap year
compliance" is compliant through and report the final year of compliance. 

 This completes the BIOS Real Time Clock (RTC) and BIOS Leap Year test. You
will now be instructed  on the procedure for testing the BIOS for Year 2000
compliance of the "Century Bit". This test determines the ability of the BIOS
to roll over from 1999 to the year 2000. 

Not all computers will continue to function after 1999 due to an early design
in hardware architecture with the Real Time Clock. Check your system now and
know if you will be able to continue use of your PC after 1999!
