Mr. Delorie, could you please show documentation for the math you used to calculate the number of days for turnover for uclock, and could you also show an example of code (with math) which converts the output to 
- milliseconds
- microseconds

I am pretty sure the latter simply involves a ratio and can be done with integer math, provided variables are used - I noticed that stuffing into a single big expression may do strange things to the result (such as truncation, etc).

thanks.
