Mark Day, Procite List Owner =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Year 2000 Statement =20 This is to notify you that the following statements are being designated as Year 2000 Readiness Disclosures under the Year 2000 Information and Readiness Disclosure Act, enacted by the 105th Congress on October 19, 1998. The ISI ResearchSoft products listed below are Year 2000 compliant: EndNote 2.4 or later (Windows and Macintosh) ProCite version 4 for Windows 98/95/NT4 ProCite version 4 for Macintosh ProCite version 3.4 for Windows 3.1 ProCite version 2.1.1 for Macintosh Reference Manager version 9 for Windows 98/95/NT Reference Manager version 8.5 for Windows 98/95/NT4 Reference Manager version 8.0x for Windows 98/95/NT4 Reference Manager version 7 for Windows 3.1 Reference Web Poster version 1 for Windows 98/95/NT4 If the version of the program you are using does not appear in the list above, you may take this opportunity to upgrade to one of our Year 2000 compliant products. Year 2000 Compliance Year 2000 compliance is defined as follows: No value for current date will cause interruptions in desired operations. Products will operate, and neither performance nor functionality will be affected with system dates before, during or after January 1, 2000. Date elements in interfaces and data storage will permit specifying century to eliminate date ambiguity. Database references (records) will sort by dates in ascending or descending order based on correctly entered dates. Products will not require any manual activity or intervention by users to operate after January 1, 2000. Products will not abnormally end or provide invalid or incorrect results as a result of date data, especially between centuries. All manipulations of time-related data (dates, duration, days of week, etc.) will produce the desired results for all valid date values within the applications. ISI ResearchSoft Year 2000 Test Criteria Year 2000 compliance was determined and confirmed by operating these applications or computers with system dates on or after January 1, 2000, and by performing sorting and retrieval operations with references with the years 19xx and 2xxx and formatting bibliographies. Bibliographic Import Filters ISI ResearchSoft has identified several Capture definition (import) files for Reference Manager versions 8.x, 7 and (Macintosh) 2.5 that key only on 19xx for date identification. ISI ResearchSoft is in the process of modifying these import files to recognize both 19xx and 2xxx for versions 8.x and 7. These files will be made available to customers at no charge from the ISI ResearchSoft Web site www.isiresearchsoft.com as soon as quality control testing is completed. Users of Reference Manager 2.5 for the Macintosh are encouraged to upgrade to ProCite for the Macintosh v4 if they wish to maintain import filters capable of interpreting references with mixed date formats. Year 2000 Disclaimer Proper functioning of all ISI ResearchSoft products will be dependent upon the customer=92s utilization of Year 2000 compatible hardware and software. It is important that our customers analyze their own environments to ensure the ability to adapt to the century change.
