Additional thought on timestamps:
On one hand Windows has Filetime, and we work in Windows.
On the other hand 'ux time is used/supported as "standard".
On the gripping hand, maybe it is the 'ux that should upgrade to be compatable:
"What happens on January 19, 2038?
On this date the Unix Time Stamp will cease to work due to a 32-bit overflow. Before this moment millions of applications will need to either adopt a new convention for time stamps or be migrated to 64-bit systems which will buy the time stamp a "bit" more time."
"Systemtime range and practical limit of filetime 1 January 1601 to 14 September 30828, 02:48:05.4775807"
Filetime will last 15 times more years remaining, epoch earlier, and 10^7 times better resolution.
