   Ideally, UTC noon on all dates within the CDate range, which as I recall   
   includes the years 0100 to 9999.  All dates within 2018 to 2022 will at   
   present suffice, as would  CDate(43100) to CDate(43100+1830).   
      
   This must be done with VBScript called by WSH in a batch file.  Alternatively,   
   I could use local noon for those dated and somehow find the corresponding UTC   
   Date/Time or time_t in any reasonable format (or in FFF).
