> 
> We believe the Freeware DNS application, BIND for NT 4.9.5 to be Y2K
> compliant, as it does not utilize year date fields in the code.  However,
> we have not performed Year 2000 testing on BIND for NT, and do not warrant
> such releases as being Year 2000 compliant.  Irregardless of the release
> you currently use, we strongly encourage you to test performance on your

> BIND for NT is based on code originally developed at U.C. Berkeley and
> currently maintained by the Internet Software Consortium and others on the
> Internet. Software.com developed a graphical install program, and ported
> the code to all four NT platforms: Intel, MIPS, Alpha, and PowerPC.  In
> short, we at Software.com, did not write the code for this software.
> 
> With that said, I do not know about about BIND 4.9.7, as the 4.9.5 release
> is the latest one that we at Software.com have packaged and distributed
> (but there are several more recent releases that have been developed by
> the
> UC Berkely consortium).  I would assusme the answer would be similar, but
> Icannot vouch for that.
