I never spent time on date/time storage on NTFS volumes, so your information on that is new to me.<BR/><BR/>However, I disagree about that there is no such thing as a 62 second minute. The reason is, that some time protocols support it. In other words, even though the earth rotation has never caused a minute to be 62 seconds, your application should Lars Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06217303713945608384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434108347727659251.post-12269248663989108882008-01-15T19:37:00.000+01:002008-01-15T19:37:00.000+01:00Nice article.
