What I'm trying to do is find a way to express "more than 60 minutes 
after the most recent time/date stamp" in such a way that it will not 
fail across noon/midnight boundaries.  In Delphi, all times are just 
expressed as floating point numbers, where each day is "1", 12 hours is 
"0.5", etc, so all of these calculations are dead triviall in that 
situation.  I'm confused by all of the various ways that Dates can be 
used and Times can be used.  I'm not sure if these two concepts are 
separate or united in some way.  The Convert routine gives some clues, 
but I could not find a discussion on Time/Date, which is really what I'm 
trying to use/do.

"if the seconds > nextFTPTime then"

Ah.  More puns.  So "the seconds" means something different than 
"seconds".  I guess "the seconds" is what I was looking for all along.  
Difficult to spot, since it is more or less a time/date concept 
masquerading as a time.  But, that said, this simplifies things 
considerably.

Thanks!  Learning about "the seconds" was very helpful!
