Release Dates: 8/12/98 North America, 9/15/98 French, Italian, German Spanish, 11/15/98 Japanese

Recommendations to meet compliance:
As Picture It! 99 needs Internet Explorer 4 in order to work properly, the product ships with the Internet Explorer 4 setup files.   Internet Explorer 4 installs the necessary OLEAUT32.dll version as a result.  Thus, Picture It! 99 is compliant on Windows operating systems with Internet Explorer 4 or greater.  Please refer to Internet Explorer 4 Product Guide document for IE4 product specific information.

How the product handles dates:
The Organize It! task has a Description entry field for entering in Dates. The user is allowed to type in a 2 digit year or a 4 digit year.  If the year is 2 digit Picture It! displays/stores dates from 1930 to 2029.  If the year is 4 digit, the product will display /store is for that year.

The Organize It! task also has a FIND utility. The Find feature also has a search by date field.  This field also accepts 4 digit or 2 digit date entry.  This feature matches the same behavior as indicated above.

In the Calendar Task the calendar only allows four digit entry of dates.  It accepts values between 1800 and 2200.  The year 2000 leap year displays correctly.

When displaying dates the application uses system settings in the Control Panel defined by the user.

Two-digit shortcut handling:
If the string is entered as 03/10/00, it is then converted into a four digit date format using the VarDateFromString() function in OLEAUT32.dll of the operating system. OLEAUT32.dll performs the conversion properly if the version of OLEAUT32.dll  is greater than or equal to 2.20.4094. On the retail release of  Windows 95, OLEAUT32.dll is an earlier version and does not perform the four digit date conversion correctly. It coverts the string to March 10, 1900.  OSR2 and greater versions of Windows 95 perform the conversion to four digit date format properly. It converts to March 10, 2000.  For more information see the Windows 95 Product Guide.
