Alas, 'tis neither normal nor expected by the APIs and the programmers who are implementing systems that deal with time.
Let me find some good references for you on how the UTC paper clock actually works. Inter-comparing the clocks from each national laboratory is in itself a fascinating subject (or, Demetrios, do you have some canned papers on this?). You really didn't expect 250 diffeent atomic clocks around the world to all agree at the ns level at all times did you? /tvb _______________________________________________ LEAPSECS mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs
