[DUG] Reading binary data as date/time from registry

[John Bird]

I am pretty certain that 30/12/1899 is a unique start point for Delphi - 
other systems (Unix and Windows) look to start at 1970 or 1980.   I am 
guessing as I haven't dealt with registry dates that you need to do 
something similar to a file datestamp - FileDatetoDateTime and/or 
FileTimeToSystemTime API

I saw some code examples at

http://www.efg2.com/Lab/Library/Delphi/DatesAndTimes/index.html

which appear to back this up  (about 1/4 way down the page).   Is the date 
value likely to be a windows integer date/timestamp?
