Here's another Unit from me, This time it's a 
 Unix to DelphiTimeDate and ViceVersa Conversion Routines...

unit U_DateTime;
{
 written by Andre Jakobs  from  MicroBrain Technologies Inc.


This Unit Converts UNIX timestamps and Delphi timestamps

Unix stores the TimeDate in a four byte long-integer(DoubleWord), As
the number of seconds since 1-januari-1970 0:0:0 .....

Delphi stores the TimeDate in TDateTime (a Float), where the integer
part of TDateTime type is the Number of days since 1-januari-0001 0:0:0
and the floating-point part the fractional Part of the day}

interface

const
    UnixStartDate : tdatetime = 719163.0;

function DelphiDateTimeToUnix(ConvDate:TdateTime):longint;
function UnixToDelphiDateTime(USec:longint):TDateTime;
