This is how I finished up doing this. It didn't work the first time
because I had entered the magic number as 2080844800! Oops!:
SecsSinceX = StrAToI(pRecord.datetime) + 2082844800;
TimSecondsToDateTime(SecsSinceX, &datetime);
StrPrintF( datestr,
"%2d/%2d/%4d %2d:%2d:%2d",
datetime.day, datetime.month, datetime.year,
datetime.hour, datetime.minute, datetime.second);
