9834.0. "Year 2000 support status for DUNIX V3.2G" by HGOV08::EDMONDLEUNG () Thu May 15 1997 10:43

    Hi,
    
    I am looking for the year 2000 support status for DUNIX V3.2G to our
    customer. Can anyone tell what will be status for this particular 
    DUNIX version?
    
    I've searched through the update y2000 support status list for DUNIX
    but the list only provides the status for the more update version such 
    as DUNIX V4.0a which again is not the latest version. Is that the
    common practice to inform the customer if they want to have the year
    2000 support, they need to upgrade their DUNIX from 3.2G to V4.0D. OR
    there is another way to inform the customer.
    
    Thanks for any suggestions in advance.
    Edmond
