Hi all, I'm jumping into this a bit late, but I have some good info about time. Two sites that I know about that have good tutorials and white papers are
http://www.datum.com/res_technical.html http://www.truetime.com/DOCSn/TTreferencematerial.html In particlar, the paper "Timing and Time Code Reference Book" is very interesting. It explains several different time standards that are currently used, and tells you why UTC needs leap seconds. Pretty much the whole world runs on UTC. All of the common time distribution systems use UTC. Technically, GPS doesn't, but the GPS signal includes the correction to UTC. I understand the argument for using TAI. Maybe internally the libray should use TAI, but default to giving the user UTC? -- Matthew Donadio ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) _______________________________________________ Haskell mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell
