Understand the Real Impact of Year 2000 In Your Business
NetVersant^TM Provides Comprehensive Year 2000 Solution For COBOL Community

Clearwater, Florida, December 22, 2025 — NetVersant Technologies, Inc., has formed a strategic alliance with 21st Century COBOL Conversions and is now offering YEAR2000.EXE^TM, an intelligent COBOL Analyzer and Converter which expands all dates and related fields automatically at remarkable speed. Using data field expansion, YEAR2000.EXE maintains system integrity and code standards using a collection of components compiled to provide maximum efficiency in converting COBOL systems. The Impact Analysis and Validator Component allows an IT group to quickly evaluate how the Year 2000 will impact their business and confirm that conversions already implemented are correct and complete.

"The first step in understanding the true impact of the Year 2000 to any company is to thoroughly analyze their systems. The YEAR2000.EXE Toolkit is one of the most comprehensive software applications available to do this," said Steve Collbran, President of 21st Century COBOL Conversions. He continued, "We are committed to providing a fully automated tool to minimize the impact of the new millennium on Corporate America. By allowing NetVersant Technologies to manage the sales and marketing of YEAR2000.EXE, we can focus on our core competency, which is developing sound solutions for the COBOL user community." Phil Levin, a contractor for the Los Angeles Unified Schools Year 2000 conversion program, said "Using YEAR2000.EXE has turned a long critical project into a standard maintenance routine. Best of all, we didn’t have to settle for shortcuts or bandage solutions. I don’t see why anyone would go without such facilities and I strongly recommend YEAR2000.EXE to anyone with Y2K concerns."

The components within YEAR2000.EXE are designed to provide maximum efficiency in converting COBOL systems. The Impact Analysis and Validator Component allows the user to understand the scope of their needs in terms of a Year 2000 solution, and verifies changes that have already been completed. This component is available for evaluation at http://www.netversant.com.
An upgrade is available from the Impact Analysis and Validator Component to the full version, and you’ll receive a full credit towards the purchase price. Other components in the full version include the Configuration Module to customize searches, and the Repository Builder automatically gathers all system-wide fields into an ISAM based repository. The Examiner applies the repository information to the source programs to ensure that all changes are consistent for both copy files and programs. The Reporter documents your progress, impact analysis, project scoping, statistical information and more. Finally, the Generator methodically tags all converted programs with a clear user definable banner. YEAR2000.EXE Toolkits are available for DOS, Microsoft Windows, SCO UNIX, DEC VMS, and IBM AS400.

21st Century COBOL Conversions, located in Palm Harbor, Florida, was founded in 1986 as a subsidiary of the CSE Group of COBOL development companies. The corporate group CSE is wholly owned by its employees and founders.
