I need to record relative date/times as opposed to absolute date/times.
Instead of recording "10-Jan-1999", I need to record 45 days 5 hours 10
minutes.  So, what is the best way to record a time of that nature?  Would
the Date functions support something along that lines?  I know I can write a
custom class to accomplish what I want, however, I don't want to reinvent
the wheel.  Also, I could use the number of milliseconds, and probably will,
but that brings into question how to accurately represent 1 year, when you
consider leap years.  Representing a year in milliseconds changes based on
whether or not you have a leap year.

Any advice would be appreciated.

By the way, I would probably prefer to add this to a Java.lang Usenet group,
but don't have access to a Usenet server for those forums.  Does anyone have
any recommendations there?
