Things to watch out for: - older boost - had trouble with this and undid some previous minor use of boost::date_time a while back. - performance & resolution: probably fine but the templates were too labyrinthine for for me to be sure. - impact on existing code using AbsTime/Duration So my suggestion: if boost::time solves your problem on windows then do a new sys/boost/Time.cpp impl using boost::time, so no impact on other code. If the boost impl works ok on linuxen, solaris etc. then we can use it everywhere. On any platform where we do have a problem (performance effects, portability, dealing with older boost) we can conditionally use the old impl. Ideally there are no issues and we ditch the old impl but I wouldn't assume that in advance. Cheers, Alan.
