No, I mean exactly what I wrote: "I don't think anybody dare even think about redefining POSIX time_t" The reason I mean that is that I've talked to a lot of the relevant people and they're all totally morified about the consequences of (time_t % 86400) not giving you the time of day. Remember, most of these people are even afraid to extend time_t to 64 bits because of the possible fall-out :-( -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
