   <faq title="Are the Xerces parsers Year-2000-compliant?">
         <q>Are the Xerces parsers Year-2000-compliant?</q>
         <a>
            	<p>Yes, Xerces-J and Xerces-C are Year 2000 compliant.
 		They do not currently use any dates at all (at least until the XML
 		Schema date datatypes are fully supported).  However, you may still
 		have Y2K problems if the underlying OS or Java implementation has
 		problems with dates past year 2000 (e.g. OS calls which accept or
 		return year numbers).</p>
 		<p>Most (UNIX) systems store dates internally as signed 32-bit
 		integers which contain the number of seconds since 1st January 1970,
 		so the magic boundary to worry about is the year 2038 and not 2000.
 		But modern operating systems shouldn't cause any trouble at all.</p>

 		<p>The Apache Xerces project is an open-source software product
 		of the Apache Software Foundation. The project and the Foundation
 		cannot and does not offer legal assurances regarding any suitability
 		of the software for your application. There are several commercial
 		support organizations and derivative products available that may be
 		able to certify the software and provide you with any assurances you
 		may require (IBM's Websphere product is one of them).</p>

         <q>How do I determine the version of &XercesCName; I am using?</q>
         <a>

            <p>The version string for &XercesCName; is in one of the header files. Look
            inside the file <code>src/xercesc/util/XercesVersion.hpp</code> or, in the binary distribution,
            look in <code>include/xercesc/utils/XercesVersion.hpp</code>. </p>

            <p>If you don't have the header files, you have to find the version
            information from the shared library name. On Windows right click on
            the DLL name &XercesCWindowsDLL;.dll in the bin directory and look up
            properties. The version information may be found on the Version tab.</p>

            <p>On AIX, just look for the library name &XercesCUnixLib;&XercesCUnixSoName;.a (or
            &XercesCUnixLib;.so.&XercesCUnixSoName; on Solaris/Linux/IA64 HP-UX
            and &XercesCUnixLib;.sl.&XercesCUnixSoName; on PA-RISC HP-UX). The
            version number is indicated in the name of the library.</p>

       <p>No.  The &XercesCName; &XercesCVersion; only has partial XPath implementation
