So I’m trying to find out if the current date on a Windows machine is after a hardcoded date. How would I go about doing this without using Boost or ATL? I’m using Visual Studio 2010 C++

The platform independent way to get the current date in C++ is
time(NULL), which returns seconds since Jan 1, 1970. You can use other routines in ctime to either turn that into a string, pull out day/month/year/etc.
