The leap second gets added to UTC. I don't know how Windows works, but most Linux/Unix systems keep track of time in UTC and convert to local time using the appropriate time zone. There is a wonderful package that keeps track of all the time zone data. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tz_database ---------- [email protected] said: >> I think 23:59:59 UTC is 16:59:59 PST.
