Cycle America wrote the quoted material below:

"          All he could stutter was....but..but...our DMS system is
" compliant! 

I think it's cause for worry when someone says their software is Y2K
"compliant" because compliancy denotes that there is some recognized
standard.  There is no standard, and thus nobody can have "compliant"
software.  IBM discusses this thoroughly on their web pages.
