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?
