How to convert system time to 64 bit file time structure of NTFS in DOS

I am using DJGPP compiler for DOS in that i have to use WINDOWS.h which is a win32 api for conversion of system time to file time for NTFS file system.As windows.h is win32 api it is giving error "windows.h-no such file or directory".So how to convert system time to file time (i.e.8 byte structure) in NTFS file system for NTFS file system in DOS.

Microsoft's FILETIME is multiples of 100ns since January 1, 1601 and a 64 bit unsigned variable.

In NTFS these are stored ad little-endian. You can convert the date yourself:

(uint64)UnixTime * 10000000 + 12219292800000000ui64 uint64 is your 64 bit unsigned type and the ui64 suffix telles the compile the constant is a 64 bit unsigned
