I believe the layout of the date-time longint in a DOS directory entry (as
used by the TP packtime/unpacktime routines) is as follows ...
                Bit      3        2        1
                No.      1        3        5        7      0
Most Significant Bit ->  YYYYYYYM MMMDDDDD hhhhhmmm mmmxxxxx  <- Least S.B.
Y = year - 1980, 7 bits (Y is in the range 0-119)
M = month, 4 bits
D = day, 5 bits
h = hour, 5 bits
m = min, 6 bits
x = seconds/2, 5 bits
You can take such a longint apart with ands and bit-shifts, or put it back
together with bit-shifts and ors.  If you only care about the date, you need
bother only with the high word.
