MS-DOS date/time

MS-DOS date and MS-DOS time are data formats associated with MS-DOS. They are used in some file formats from the MS-DOS era. Each is a 16-bit integer.

MS-DOS date represents a day in the range 1980 to 2099 (or maybe 2107, but dates after 2099 aren't always correctly handled).

MS-DOS time represents a 2-second interval within some day.
