This is to certify to that the RAR archiver, all versions, has been tested and has no known problems concerning the year 2000. RAR staff has made every effort to verify the correct operation of the RAR archiver before, during and after the change from 1999 to 2000.

RAR uses 32-bit DOS time format for internal storage, which can represent time until the year 2100 and thus has no problem with year 2000 compliance, presuming that the underlying hardware/OS does not have a problem.

RAR and WinRAR are Y2K compliant and perform the following date/time operations:

- Storing file time
- Setting file time
- Comparing file times

In all of these operations, WinRAR uses 32-bit DOS date/time format which allows dates up to 2100 to be represented. Date subtraction and the entering of dates by the user are not required by WinRAR.

Be advised that if your computer through its BIOS, operating system or otherwise fails to provide proper dates to the RAR archiver, it may not operate properly. This problem is beyond the RAR Team's control or ability to affect.

Should a problem be found, within the RAR code, RAR staff warrant that RAR code will be corrected free of charge in a timely manner, subject to the terms and conditions of the license agreement for RAR currently in force.
