Actually, I should qualify this. I keep forgetting that time_t is not guaranteed to be unix time on non-POSIX systems. If what you want is time_t, then use C's time function via core.time, but if what you want is actual unix time, then just do Clock.currTime.toUnixTime, since that's the simplest way to do it. If you're using Microsoft's runtime, then time_t is indeed unix time, but it's not for the Digital Mars runtime (and the standard - unfortunately - doesn't require it to be). Digital Mars uses someting that's _close_ to time_t but isn't actually time_t. :( - Jonathan M Davis
