I have been using time difference to calculate time difference. I wanted to use a simple subtraction operation to subtract 1 hour from the current time.

Time t1 = GetSysTime();
Time dec(0,0,0,1,0,0);
Time res;
res.Set(t1-dec);

Cout() << "Time: " << AsString(t1) << "\n";
Cout() << "Time: " << AsString(res) << "\n";
Cout() << "Time: " << AsString(dec) << "\n";

result:

Time: 08/04/2008 17:27:22
Dec: 00/00/   0 01:00:00
Res: 07/04/2008 16:27:22

I was expecting 08/04/2008 16:27:22 and not 07/04/2008 16:27:22

Is Time not meant to be used in this way?

What if I specified it as:

Time dec(1900,1,1,1,0,0);
