   IIUC, Paradox does *not* do anything special with dates. It just converts   
   them to integers, and performs normal integer arithmetic. It counts (I   
   think) 30 Dec 1899 as Day 0, then every succeeding day gets the next   
   integer. So, if you subtract:   
   3 Jan 1900 - 31 Dec 1899   
   Paradox converts this to   
   4 - 1 (the 4th day after 30 Dec 1899, minus the 1st day after)   
   and returns 3.
