Nope, they probably aren't. Look at my Window Time programming. It has a routine to convert a SYSTEMTIME structure to a date/time value.

FYI, the SYSTEMTIME structure is defined as follows:

typedef struct _SYSTEMTIME { 
    WORD wYear; 
    WORD wMonth; 
    WORD wDayOfWeek; 
    WORD wDay; 
    WORD wHour; 
    WORD wMinute; 
    WORD wSecond; 
    WORD wMilliseconds; 
} SYSTEMTIME, *PSYSTEMTIME;

You'll note that each of the members is a word, not a dword, and therefore the structure is 16 bytes long.
