xls2csv returns a day count
xls2csv returns a day count. I determined that the corrsponding day count for the epoch (time_t 0) is 25568. That may be polluted by my timezone, but it's a start. I subtract that number from the day count returned by xls2csv. I convert that to seconds (time_t, duh!) and convert it from seconds to something we stupid humans use. The strftime.exe is a c program I've been using on *nix sytems for several years. See the manpage on strftime (time_t, tm structs, localtime, etc). As for getting the -f option in xls2csv to work, I haven't been able to.
