   I assumed when he said "I think this might help." he meant that, rather than   
   give a complete solution, it would give the original poster an idea on how   
   to start.  In fact, except for a missing semi-colon after "uses DOS" it does   
   compile and run.   
      
   As a few additional clues for the OP; in addition to not including the date,   
   HB's code delivers seconds rather than milliseconds.  In order to get   
   milliseconds since 00:00:00 01/01/1970 the result type would have to be   
   Double under TP5.5.  A Real doesn't  have enough precision for that scope at   
   that resolution.  I'm assuming the C code must have sourced from a UNIX   
   system where "long" is a 64 bit integer.  Yes, I tested it, but I couldn't   
   come up with a *simple* solution to the leap year issue, so I dropped it.
