Ciao Eric Just a comment back.
In experiments with inserting various kind of dates directly into "raw" tiddlers in TW I found out it is intelligent. If you insert "00000000000000000" (17 zeros in total) TW changes the number to *1899 11 30 00:00:00.00 *exactly as you said. Similarly if you insert "19570000000000000" it will convert appropriately.
