Well, I don't know if I got it right but I think what he meant was: Though he currently doesn't need to enter dates which are outside the scope of time_t he is curious about the reason of the limitation to time_t instead of using another, wider type. Maybe gnucash lives long enough to exceed the date range offered by time_t and then the question might arise again :-) Regards Martin -- "Things are only impossible until they're not" Martin Preuss - http://www.aquamaniac.de/ AqBanking - http://www.aqbanking.de/ LibChipcard - http://www.libchipcard.de/ _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
