Unix time <--> File time

[Peter Lameijn]

Not much, but can be useful :

Function UnixTimeToFileTime(ByVal UnixTime As Dword) As Quad
  Function = UnixTime*10000000+116444736000000000
End Function

Function FileTimeToUnixTime(ByVal FT As Quad) As Dword
  Function = (FT - 116444736000000000) \ 10000000
End Function

Was having problems with the above functions... then rewrote them:
