DOC software is provided with no support and without any obligation on the

A number of companies around the world provide commercial support for DOC
|
|
|
|
|
software, however. DOC software is Y2K-compliant, as long as the underlying
|
|
|
|
|
OS platform is Y2K-compliant. Likewise, DOC software is compliant with the
|
|
|
|
|
new US daylight savings rule passed by Congress as "The Energy Policy Act
|
|
|
|
|
of 2005," which established new daylight savings times (DST) rules for the
|
|
|
|
|
United States that expand DST as of March 2007. Since DOC software obtains
|
|
|
|
|
time/date and calendaring information from operating systems users will not
|
|
|
|
|
be affected by the new DST rules as long as they upgrade their operating systems
|
|
|
|
|
accordingly.
