file time to dos time

[Nick Collier]

Hi,

I'm trying to convert the results of os.path.getmtime(path) - last
modification time in seconds since the epoch - to the dos time format
which I think is a 36 bit number with bit fields for the year, month,
day, hour, seconds. I'm coming close with some guessed at bitwise
arthimetic, but can't get the year correct. Any suggestions?

thanks,

Nick
