Is there a module/routine to do this? From .NET Framework SDK
documentation: "Time values are measured in 100-nanosecond units called
ticks, and a particular date is the number of ticks since 12:00
midnight, January 1, 1 C.E. in the GregorianCalendar calendar. For
example, a ticks value of 31241376000000000L represents the date,
Friday, January 01, 0100 12:00:00 midnight."
Of all the 64bit timestamp I've seen (others include TAI, NTP,
PostgreSQL, Firebird, Win32 FILETIME), I've kind of like this one
because the range and precision usually "feels right" for my
needs/applications.
