Hi All, 
I am trying to write a program to manage my user base on my BBS. The BBS 
software is called SpitFire and the Subscription date is defined in a record 
as type Longint. I have tried several of the delphi date routines with no 
success. Can someone give a small code example of how to decode a date in 
this format?  
If necessary, I can give the integer value and a valid date for one of the 
users so can possibly determine what format it is in. I have not done much 
with Dates in pascal. The BBS software is an older DOS based system written 
in pascal and I have the record structure provided by the author. I am able 
to read several of the other fields ok and the date value is pulled in ok, 
just can't decode the sucker!  
Any ideas? 
Steve
