Year 2000 Information

The so-called "Y2k bug" relates to the way computers deal with dates. The bug is a legacy of some older computer systems, which needed to minimise storage space and did so by not storing the century part of dates, assuming that all dates fell into the 1900s.

  1. ShareFinder 5 is designed to be year 2000-compliant.
    ShareFinder was specifically designed and tested to handle all dates from January 1, 1900 at least up to December 31, 2099, including the correct calculation of leap years where applicable.

  2. ShareFinder uses four-digit dates for internal processing.
    In some cases the display of date information is controlled by the Windows operating system. Depending on Windows' regional settings, dates may be displayed with only two-digit years. This does not affect ShareFinder's internal processes, which always use the full four-digit year.

Compliance in Other ShareFinder Products

Our older ShareFinder products, including ShareFinder 2, ShareFinder 3 and the ShareFinder for Windows range, are NOT Y2k compliant, mainly due to user interface issues. It is recommended that you upgrade before the end of 1999.
