Hi,

when I look at the dates and times displayed in OpenANDX are wrong.

I have compared them with what Windows shows and they are out by a long shot.

I have looked at what the CIFS JUNE DRAFT shows, and it says that the date
in the OPEN_AND_X SMB is an SMB_DATE, but I have checked that field, and it
does not look like one.

The fields look a little like TIME fields, with a LOW and HI 16-bit
quantities. These are based on the Gregorian calendar ... Which means
adding times from 1601 AD. Damn ...


Regards
