Question:
Why does TTime time(_L("20040819:120000.000000")); represent Noon on the 20th of September 2004?

Answer:
The TTime API represents January as the zero^th month of the year, February as the 1^st month of the year etc.

So the 8^th month of the year is September. Similarly the first day of the month is the zero^th day of the month, the second day of the month is the first day of the month etc.

So using TTime xxxx0819:xxxxxx.xxxxxx is the 20th of September.
