Can someone running Suse x64, set their clock to 2038/01/19 03:14:07 UTC, and see what value time() returns. A long int is only a _minimum_ of 32 bits. If you compile on a 64-bit system, the datatype that time() returns, should be 64 bit. Of course in 2038, we probably don't even use 64 bit machines anymore... Peter 'Pflodo' Flodin
