Unix Date Format
I have an Foxbase application that saves dates in a character field using a Unix date format.
Does anyone know what the formula is to convert back to a standard date, something that can be, I hesitate to say, understood in a Windows environment, such as Excel or Access. cheers peter |

The only thing I can think that could be would be the Unix Epoch... If it's just a really big number, it's possible that it's (I think) the number of seconds since January 1, 1970. I'ts well over a billion now...
I don't know of any way to convert it easily, short of writing a program or perl script... maybe someone else does? |
