GMT and UTC were used interchangeably well into the 1990s, especially in publication not subject to peer review of subject experts...
People still use them interchangeably TODAY, however the people doing so are incorrect.
We can't agree on how to solve the problems if we can't agree on the history of the past. time_t was devised to correspond to a GMT worldview. It worked fine for most purposes in the late 70's. It works less fine in 2014. Pretending that time_t was MEANT to represent UTC isn't intellectually honest in my opinion, and I'll object when I see it presented as such. _______________________________________________ LEAPSECS mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs
