Dear Customer:

The Open Group has completed a review of Motif (OSF/Motif) and the X Window
System with regard to Year 2000 issues, and has determined that Motif
(versions 1.0 through 2.1) and X Window System (X11 Releases 5 through 6.4)
source code, as provided directly by The Open Group (or, previously provided
by Open Software Foundation, Inc.; or X Consortium in the case of X Window
System) does not contain any date-dependent source code. The arrival of the
year 2000 should have no effect on the operation of Motif or X Window System
source code.

Please note, however, that Motif & X Window System object code or
applications, or derivative works thereof, which would have been provided to
you by a third party, are not covered by the above statement. You are hereby
referred to your supplier for statements regarding Year 2000 issues for such
third-party products.

Very truly yours,

The Open Group
