So we don't live in a vacuum?

[Glenn Ericson <Glenn-Ericson@xxxxxxx>]

I  found this list of windowed date pivots  posted to another list which I
thought it might be nice to have "just incase" you interface with any of
these products/vendors.  I have e not  taken any effort to verify but this
looks like  Y2K.1

Statistically 56% of  package offerings are  windowed  !!
If  you  look at  a combonation of  windowing &  expansion it rises to 66%

 Windowing: Who does, who doesn't?

I have been collecting a list of window rages for several years.  Finding
this type of information is rare (it was unusual for me to be able to update
this field).  I also found (but unfortunately did not track the information)
that some manufacturers use several methods to achieve compliance, even
within the same products.  Here are the window ranges I have recorded at one
time or another.
