Yes, but FPC already used TDateTime internally, according to TDbf :-)

dbf_common.inc:

{$ifdef DELPHI_5}

...
  {$define SUPPORT_NEW_FIELDDATA}
...

SUPPORT_NEW_FIELDDATA means use TDateTime as internal format. Under {$ifdef FPC} I also have defined SUPPORT_NEW_FIELDDATA.

(I know: the SUPPORT_ should be named HAS_ or so...)

Regards from the not entirely ignorant tdbf maintainer as proven by this mail ;-)
