I need to implement an (admittedly naive) run-time protection scheme.

At least I would check the current date, any additional suggestion
(with code! :-) are welcome.

TIA,

-Ramon

Pretty basic, but
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/1f4c8f33%28VS.80%29.aspx
will tell you the # of seconds from 1970. Easy to convert that to a
date. Not accurate if people reset their system clocks.

In Windows, GetSystemTime will return a SYSTEMTIME
structure with separate fields for year, month,
day, etc. You can then use SystemTimeToFileTime
to get a FILETIME quad word, which is the number
of 100-nsec intervals since Jan 1, 1601 (UTC).
This is a better format than SYSTEMTIME for
comparing dates.
