There are many date formats at work, depending on the application that created the database. Many third-party tools use the Unix style of seconds since 1/1/1970. Some Palm dates are actually in this format too, some are seconds since 1/1/1904, some are in a structure that has different fields for year, month, day, hour etc, some are in a 2 byte integer that is split into year, month and day using a weird split on bits. If your application expects dates in the 1/1/1904 style, then use that.
