I am trying to write an 'ls' program under DOS.  I am using Turbo C
version 1.5 and I use findfirst() and findnext() to get the files.
I am having a problem with file dates.  find... () returns a structure
ffblk such that the time is split into (int ff_ftime, int ff_fdate);
These functions use the DOS interrupt for finding the files.
Does anybody know of any routines for converting these integers to 
UNIX format?  If not, could somebody who knows please email me and tell
me how exactly these integers tell the time.  Turbo C does not seem 
to have any conversion routines and when I print out the integers
I get meaningless numbers which do not look like dates.
I appreciate any and all help.

Please E-mail responses.  Thanks.
