Navig8 2000 is initially being used to assist with Y2K efforts in Ukraine, Russia, and Lithuania. Scientists from these countries recently participated in a two-week training session on operation of the software in Kyiv, Ukraine, conducted by Accelr8's consulting engineers. "Through this project, Accelr8 Technology has demonstrated its commitment to the international Y2K source code compliance problem," said Harry Fleury, president of Accelr8 Technology.
