This statement is designed as a "Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure" as outlined in the Year 2000 Information Readiness and Disclosure Act of 1998.
LAPACK is Y2K compliant. An evaluation of the LAPACK software revealed that there are no areas of concern for compliance. The Year 2000 compliance of LAPACK is dependent upon the Year 2000 compliance of the underlying operating system. The LAPACK Testing and Timing Suites call a system function etime() to return the elapsed time in seconds between successive calls to the function. The date is not an issue in this system function call.
