Thanks Herb.
Finally an answer to this mystery!

I'm not Herb, he thought it was seconds.
But I'm glad I could help, only because I had to answer the question once
before, up until then I never gave it much thought.


Creating the timestamp with VBScript for instance is rather easy:

Timestamp = (Year(Now) - 1601) * 365 * 24 + (98 * 24) + (Day(Now) -
1) * 24 + Hour(Now)

The reverse on the other hand is way much more difficult when it
comes to the months.

Do you know of any algorithm that solves this?

I don't get your question about months, it is all about days, keeping in
mind you have to add the Leap Days in Leap Years. Since you are trying to
make a script out of this, your script (as written) will have to add the
Leap days. There is no real constant I can think of because of the Leap
days. Maybe a script that will add the leap day to this script during Leap
years and Leap Centuries.
