[fpc-pascal] convert "epoch" to UTC

i'm needing to convert a "UTC epoch" date to a "standard time string"... by that, i mean that i want to get something like "2011-01-13 22:24:04" out of the "epoch" number 12013.9338171... the above "epoch" number is (supposedly) built like this... 12 == 2012 013 == 13th day of the year .9338

Frankly, every new feature will be a mere increase of complexity if you reject learning about it. There is a listing, despite not up-to-date, of new language features since Delphi 7, at . Not all of them are currently implemented in FPC. Could you point
