As usual its not straightforward - 

I am using Visual Studio Express 2008 (aka MSVC 9 **) and
32 bit Windows XP (SP3).  

This supports both 32 and 64bit time with the default being 64 bit time_t and 
associated functions. If the macro _USE_32BIT_TIME_T is defined 32 bit versions 
are used.

Also for reference from the MSDN documentation -
The range of mktime64 and mkgmtime64 is from midnight, January 1, 1970, UTC to 
23:59:59, December 31, 3000, UTC.
  


Kind regards


Terrence


** In previous posts I may have mixed this up and referred to if as MSVC 8
