   12:     assessed various programs obtained from the Internet for
   13:     Year-2000 (Y2K) readiness that were not sufficiently certified
   14:     for AT&T's needs.  As a service to the computing community
   15:     AT&T Labs is freely releasing this information to the
   16:     public as a series of "Y2K Application Updates", one update
   17:     for what AT&T Labs considers an "application".
   18: 
   19:     For use outside of AT&T, AT&T Labs is not certifying this
   20:     information is correct, that any software, including repairs
   21:     and tests, will help others in any way, survive the year
   22:     2000, nor work with current applications. Nor is AT&T
   23:     taking any responsibility for repairing any Y2K problems
   24:     that were overlooked nor repairing any bugs in any

   33:     the specific changes made by Y2K to the code. Any original 
   34:     copyright holders retain rights to unchanged code. Wherever

   38:     upgrades, and tests within legal future distributions as long as
   39:     they include the credit:
