AOL Time ??

After a little more digging, I found that (from memory - notes are at work) that the Epic time is 1-1-80. Now I need to know if it counts in seconds since then or some other increment. I guess I could play with it a little, but if someone already knows that would speed things up.

You can find more information on different Epoch values here
http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epoch_(reference_date)

Epoch date January 1, 1980 - MS DOS, OS/2, FAT16 and FAT32 filesystem

Regarding your question, yes it is in seconds.

RonS - I am afraid that is wrong

The date format you are referring to (FAT/MS-DOS) also has an epoch time of 1/1/1980 but it records the data in a bit specific manner - i.e. different bits represent the year, month, min etc.

AOL time is the same as Unixtime but with a different epoch date (unixtime is 1/1/1970, AOL is 1/1/980) and records the seconds passed since the epoch.

I was referring to different Epoch time values (which are listed in the link) and not how they are stored in memory.

Can you explain why you named it AOL time?

Found it in AOL email first
