I'm experiencing a strange problem when using the GetDateTime() function.
Given the following declarations and call it returns something like -26305.

long seed;
GetDateTime (&seed);
printf ("%d", seed);

The above statements return seed to be something like -26305 which is
obviously nonsense. If anybody has any idea what's wrong with this call,
please let me know as I want to use the value returned by GetDateTime()
as a seed for the random number generator.

Thanx alot --> Rob
