hello,
I want to handle datetime vars in a general way, so I use the default
time-format,
so I can use the standard cinversion procedures.
Time format is the time difference since 1-1-1970.
So how do I handle dates before 1-1-1970 ?
I'ld expect times before 1-1-1970, simply to become negative numbers
(I'm interested in the age of living people, so that would suffice).
Is there a general solution, (other library)
or would it be better to handle all dates in the Delphi format (number
of days since 1-1-1900
thanks,
Stef Mientki
