"The Compleat Manager chapter opens with four plain words-YOU CAN DO THIS. Given the use of this resource volume, I believe a good computer manager can. As a Hearst reporter of long standing, I am fascinated [by] my first chance to find out how IS departments can remedy the Year 2000 problem...Inexpensive automation is the big surprise in this book. Patrick Hagan explains why you don't have to purchase the new COBOL. Manuals from SyncSort and IBM reveal you already own an automated tool to create 'bridge' interfaces. The Air Force's chapter tells how to get a free book in which they rate hundreds of testing products. Sanford Feld's chapter shows how to protect your main computer.
