We're compiling the the DOS clients using Microsoft C 7.0, and one of the
things we had to change was gettimofday().  It seems that the Microsoft
time() uses the wrong epoch.  This is apparently a feature, not a bug, since
it's in the documentation.

The offset between the Microsoft epoch and the unix epoch is 83abd000 hex.
