TDatime for dates pre 1995

ROOT

Hi rooters,

This question is probably oriented at Rene. I have an application where I’m going to need to analyze data recorded before 1995. The TDatime class is implemented to use seconds since 1995. How difficult would this be to change say in a copy/paste class or derived class?

Thanks for any help,

Brandon

Hi Brandon,

you could use TTimeStamp instead of TDatime. TDatime uses one word, while TTimeStamp uses two words, but if you don’t haver a HUGE number of object that difference is not important.
