(*
   Legacy compatibility - you are advised to use cleaner
   designed modules based on 'man 3 strtime'
   and friends for new projects as the day value here is ugly.
   [it was mapped onto MSDOS pre 2000].

   day holds:  bits 0..4 = day of month (1..31)
                    5..8 = month of year (1..12)
                    9..  = year - 1900
   minute holds:    hours * 60 + minutes
   millisec holds:  seconds * 1000 + millisec
                    which is reset to 0 every minute

(*
   GetTime - returns the current date and time.

PROCEDURE GetTime (VAR curTime: Time) ;


(*
   SetTime - does nothing, but provides compatibility with
             the Logitech-3.0 library.
*)


PROCEDURE SetTime (curTime: Time) ;


(*
   CompareTime - compare two dates and time which returns:

                 -1  if t1 < t2
                  0  if t1 = t2
                  1  if t1 > t2
*)


PROCEDURE CompareTime (t1, t2: Time) : INTEGER ;


(*
   TimeToZero - initializes, t, to zero.
*)


PROCEDURE TimeToZero (VAR t: Time) ;


(*
   TimeToString - convert time, t, to a string.
                  The string, s, should be at least 19 characters
                  long and the returned string will be

                  yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss
