I've looked all around for something to replace COleDateTime in 64-bit.
There's nothing for unmanaged code, but there is something superior in .NET
Framework that handles regional differences much better. However, I don't
want to assume that it's installed. Eventually I guess .NET Framework will
not be optional and then I will use it.
Regarding COPYDATA I already have handshaking between 16-bit and 32-bit
programs in 32-bit OS so it is easy to make it work between 32-bit and
64-bit programs.
