Hang on :-) I seem to remember Jacques saying recently that she'd
found that the internet date was more reliable across time zones than
storing seconds.
I'm sure Jacques will be along soon to give us details or tell me

Be careful with the spelling ! Jacques has a beard, smokes pipe, likes brussel
sprouts (oups, sorry) and is definitively different from Jacque...
But I can nevertheless say that I did set my computer (Mac OS X) to different
time zones and the seconds didn't change accordingly... they seem
Yes.
The seconds returns the number of seconds since Jan 1, 1970. And this is in
GMT, or standard universal time. So any computer anywhere will always read
the same number of seconds, provided their own time is correct. With that
you can perform identical calculations as needed.

I'm getting a beard too, but I pluck it out. No pipe though.

Nope, it was Richard. But I guarantee that anything Sarah or Richard

I was looking at the ANSI C time routines and they start from Jan 1,

The seconds is exactly what I wanted. I needed a reliable way to tell when

Hi Folks
There is another issue when using the seconds for a time stamp. If you
record the seconds in a month outside summer time and translate the
seconds to another format in a month in summer time or visa versa your
result is an hour wrong. So the engine is not working out if the date
