- does anyone have access to tp's algorithms for packtime and unpacktime
- procedures? the longint returned by packtime is not a standard julian
- date so i would like to know what the limits in the numerical conversion
- are. i assume this was established by microsoft somewhere when they set up
- their FAT specifications.
-
- it seems a shame that the datetime type defined in the dos unit does not have
- 100th seconds in it so we could use the thing for elapsed time measurements
- within the 10th second accuracy we can get from the clock.
