299fcbfe 47 The three (main) classes declared in this header represent:

49 1. An absolute moment in the time (wxDateTime)
50 2. A difference between two moments in the time, positive or negative
51 (wxTimeSpan)
52 3. A logical difference between two dates expressed in
53 years/months/weeks/days (wxDateSpan)
