INTERVALYM Class


The INTERVALYM class specifies a value to be used to measure time differences.

The internal data for this object is stored as a five byte array in the super class' storage area. The bytes are arranged as follows: 

Byte       Represents
0         High byte of year
1         2nd high byte of year
2         3rd high byte of year
3         least byte of year     
4         month val + 60

Static methods are used for conversions.
