The Date Type

| I'm wondering whether an 8-bytes floating point number data type representing the time and date exists in BlitzPlus. I'd like to read 8-bytes from a file and convert it into "DD-MM-YYYY hh:mm". In VB it's easy: Get #fnum, dt (dt defined as Dim dt As Date) This will read 8 bytes and dt will automatically be DD-MM-YYYY hh:mm. As I seem to be limited to commands like ReadShort, ReadBytes etc I'm looking for an alternative in BB+... |

| There is no Date type in any version of Blitz.  Closest thing is this: http://www.blitzbasic.com/codearcs/codearcs.php?code=298 |
