Remember back in 1999 when Apple was running ads talking about Y2K?

I guess FAQ #1 here
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=19843
isn't quite right anymore.
That was referring to DateTimeUtils.h facilities (LongDateTime record
in particular), not unix ones. Most of the functionality has now been
replaced by CFDate et. al. but LongDateTime is needed for backwards
compatibility to OS 9 with AppleScript and a few other technologies.
