CompareDates

Compares two datestamps (V36)

Compares two times for relative magnitude. <0 is returned if date1 is later than date2, 0 if they are equal, or >0 if date2 is later than date1. NOTE: this is NOT the same ordering as strcmp()!

date1, date2 - DateStamps to compare

result

<0, 0, or >0 based on comparison of two date stamps

The comparison performed on the two dates translates how much time has passed (in ticks) for each one. The date stamp which translates into more ticks (1 tick = 1/50th of a second and there are 50 * 86400 ticks per day) than the other is considered "later" than the other.
