Herve,
I'm sorry I've taken so long to reply. I saw your post yesterday
morning but have been very busy.
Anyway, I'm sure everyone will get the same results you did with the
date conversion.
The problem is in OS X, not Revolution. In OS X days that go onto
daylight savings time (summer time, war time, etc.) have 23 hours;
those that come off dst have 25. The seconds calculations work fine -
unless they cross a 23 or 25 hour day.
We had a long discussion on this subject about a year ago here on the
list and in a special group of especially interested users. We
recommended a way for Rev. to handle this but, so as I know, nothing
has been done about it.

Subject: Date conversion strange behaviour
Hi,
Can someone verify the result of this little script on both platform
Win and MacOS :
on mouseUp
put "01/01/06" into d0
put "04/12/06" into d1
convert d0 to seconds
convert d1 to seconds
answer d0,d1,d1-d0,(d1-d0) div 86400
end mouseUp
On MacOS the result is: 1136073600,1144800000,8726400,101
On Win: 1136077200,1144800000,8722800,100
The difference between the two platform is 1 hour for d0 only, and the
resulting difference between d0 and d1 is 101 days on MacOSX and 100
days on Win !
Any idea ?
