Product Details

Product Dependencies:

 

         Operating System: Microsoft Windows 95 or Microsoft Windows 98. (There are currently no versions compatible with MAC, Windows NT, or the future release of Windows 2000.)

         Modem supported by the operating system.


Note: MSN Internet Access software supplies the connection to the Internet and installs the appropriate version of Internet Explorer.

 

How the product handles dates:

 

MSN Internet Access handles dates in the following manner:

 

         Dates and times that are displayed are dependent on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT; which is the  default), and the userÆs chosen time zone, which is offset from GMT.

         Users are asked to input date values when entering a credit card expiration date. Usually this is done by using a drop-down box with 4-digit years to choose from. Earlier versions accept and display 2-digit numbers on Account Services and Signup pages. Other dates are generated by the system at the time of posting an item, or joining the service.

         Years are stored in 4-digit year format.

 

MSN Internet Access displays dates in the following areas:

 

         Signup pages (credit card expiration dates)

         Account Services pages

         Billing pages

 

 

Two-digit shortcut handling:

 

SQL Server governs MSN Internet Access with its conversion rules, with the exception of the credit card expiration date, which is done by client code that is written by FDC (Federal Data Corporation).
