Notes

The JCL DateTime conversion functions supplement routines found in the Delphi RTL and the Win32 API. If a conversion function is not included here it most likely can be found in either of those libraries. The overloaded procedure is identical to the procedure from Windows and provided for compatibility. Please keep in mind that this routine is also defined in Windows.pas and to succesfully use it you must ensure that either JclDateTime is listed after Windows in the uses clause or you prefix the call with the unit name (JclDateTime.DosDateTimeToFileTime). Failure to do so may lead to a compiler error.
