Peter Norton defines the time and date fields (that findfirst() and
findnext() return) as containing the modification time and date thus:

	time_val = hour*2048 + minutes*32 + seconds/2

	date_val = (year-1980)*512 + month*32 + day

The time and date can be treated as a single unsigned long integer for
purposes of comparison between file timestamps.
