Switzerland--October 25, 1999--Blue Line Studios today announced the
release of "Y2K App Checker", an utility to check Macintosh applications
for year 2000 compliance.
Y2K App Checker checks your installed software according to the database
from Macnologist.com
complete resource available regarding applications with y2K issues. If Y2K
App Checker finds any programs on any mounted volume that have a known year
2000 incompatibility, it lists the programs' names, their specific
problems, and the recommended solutions.
"The development and testing took us much longer than we originally
anticipated," Dan C. Kueng, president of Blue Line Studios said, "but now
we have to offer quite a useful tool for the Mac community. And best of
all, it's completely free!"
"While is is widely known that the Mac hardware and operating systems are
safe," Richard Barron, president of Macnologist.com, explained, "many
people don't think about their applications as having problems with
internal date handling. Macnologist.com has been compiling information on
the not-so-compliant Mac applications in order to help spread the word
about checking your Mac for compliance--and hopefully avoiding any
embarrassing situations without y2K ready machines come January first. We
see this venture with Blue Line Studios as another large step in spreading
the word about Mac y2K issues before they turn into problems."
"Rich has done a great job to help us implement his database." Dan said,
"Why don't you check your Mac right away and see if Y2K App Checker finds
something. You bet it does!"
Y2K App Checker is freeware. It can be downloaded free-of-charge from Blue
Line Studios' web site
