Apache does.

This is OS-dependent, but standard. Perhaps you meant "no portable"? Now, you already have a #include <unistd.h> (conditionally defined), so there should be nothing wrong to support time-related POSIX functions when they are available. > -- it's completely OS dependent how to do this.

Well, I think that the only thing that one may want to consider is the switch to summer time, but the time conversion function takes that into account; one may also want to get reports in UTC. So, no problem. -- Vincent Lef�vre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / SPACES project at LORIA +------------------------------------------------------------------------ | TO UNSUBSCRIBE from this list: | http://lists.meer.net/mailman/listinfo/analog-help | | Usenet version: news://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.analog.general | List archives: http://www.analog.cx/docs/mailing.html#listarchives +------------------------------------------------------------------------
