Description Andrew Scherpbier 2003-09-06 23:54:45 UTC 
AFAIK, the edit time in an office document is the amount of time spent editing
the document, not an absolute date.
org.apache.poi.hpsf.SummaryInformation.getEditTime() should probably return a
long that indicates the number of milliseconds was spent editing.

I see. Is this documented somewhere?
Comment 2 Andrew Scherpbier 2003-09-07 20:59:50 UTC 
It is actually more by reasoning.  Whenever I look at an office document with
the POIBrowser, I see edit times in the 1600's.  Since I know microsoft's epoch
is around that time, I figured that the field was simply mis-interpreted.
I'll attach a sample word doc that msword reports (File | Properties) as having
an edit time of 6 minutes and POIBrowser reports it as having an edit time of
"Sun Dec 31 16:03:00 PST 1600".
