Along with this text file, vi2311_y2kfix.zip contains the following files:

   FILE NAME  SIZE       TYPE            DATE
   vic.exe    1,117KB    Application     4/29/99 8:22PM
   vic.tlb       15KB    Type Library    4/29/99 8:20PM

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

To apply these fixes you will need to replace some application
files in your VisualInfo installation area. We recommend that you use
the Windows command line to copy these files, as the Windows Explorer
sometimes will update shortcuts and other registry entries to point
to the original file, even though you think you updated it.

Back up your original VIC.EXE and VIC.TLB files. You will find these
in your FRNROOT directory. This can be done with the following
commands:

        x:
        CD \FRNROOT
        MD ORIG
        MOVE VIC.EXE ORIG
        MOVE VIC.TLB ORIG

Copy the updated VIC.EXE and VIC.TLB files into the FRNROOT
directory. This can be done with the following commands (this script
assumes the new data is in your x:\TEMP directory):

        COPY x:\TEMP\VIC.EXE x:\FRNROOT
        COPY x:\TEMP\VIC.TLB x:\FRNROOT

PLEASE REPLACE "x" WITH THE CORRECT DRIVE LETTER OF THE DISK DRIVE
THAT CONTAINS YOUR VISUAL INFO PROGRAM FILES.

The Y2K APAR that is fixed in this package is:
IR39787: Two-digit date fields were being saved incorrectly
  Internally, VisualInfo uses 4-digit years.  However, Date-type fields in
  Index dialogs would show dates in the 2-digit year format.  The Windows
  Client uses a "windowing" technique to assume the intended for 2-digit
  dates.  Prior to the introduction of this fix, dates outside the "window"
  were improperly converted to dates within the window when indexing
  information was re-saved.  Now the index dialog always shows previously-
  saved dates with 4-digit years.

  NOTE: The "windowing" technique remains as follows:
    In years through 1999:
      Dates from "00" to "14" are assumed to refer to "2000" through "2014";
      dates from "15" to "99" are assumed to refer to "1915" through "1999".
    In years from 2000 through 2015:
      Dates from "00" to "85" are assumed to refer to "2000" through "2085";
      dates from "86" to "99" are assumed to refer to "1986" through "1999".
    In years from 2016 through 2085:
      All dates are assumed to refer to "2000" through "2099".
