4.11

Millennium (Y2K) Compliance

HSC Chemistry is a typical 32-bit Windows program which works under Windows 95, 98,
Me, NT and 2000. HSC Chemistry software carries out different kinds of thermochemical
calculations utilizing an integrated thermochemical database. HSC does not use any dates
or time units in these calculations or database operations.
HSC Chemistry and all calculation modules have been tested by setting the personal
computer date to the year 2000 as well as to the years after 2000, and no problems were
detected in these tests. We have used some third party tools (Microsoft, etc.) for
developing HSC Chemistry 5.0. However, these tools do not use dates in HSC Chemistry
5.0.
This Millennium Compliance note does not in any way change the other terms of this
HSC Licence Agreement. The user must accept all the terms of the HSC Licence
Agreement before using HSC Chemistry.
