Jim -- no need to send me the source code.  The simplest answer was sitting
under my nose.  Turns out that the ARP library includes StrtoStamp and
StamptoStr amidst a veritable cornucopia of other goodies.  If only I
knew what the "Famous" Heath file requester was, I'd probably understand what
the FileRequest() page is talking aobut... guess I should try calling it and
see what it does! :-)

Anyhow, this is a two pronged posting: (a) I'm all set now, I think -- thanks
for the help and the pointers, and (b) ARP looks really neat.. I wonder why I
mostly ignored it for so long!
