my point was that unix and C have no plave here. I am a C and unix guy. but I keep these for where they are bound to. nor C nor unix are a good example of std compliance and safety. strftime is an obscure name for a function, and C time related functions are at least debatable. but that's not the point here, and this isn't the right forum. those big operators buy pieces of code, because/thanks to good marketing and good pricing, not because the software is safe or compliant. also, many companies are driven toward "cost reduction", not safety or std compliance. the following happens all the time: - I've written a quick and dirty code to show that we can do that - great. can you show us ... - since you're a good developper, we decided to assign you to project FOO - but I didn't finishs my code. that was only a test code - oh, young boy. don't care. now, you'll play bigger games... ... of course, there are no bigger games. and of course, let me not forget, the RFCs are hard to read. so you can shout and cry why people don't take the time to read them, when many people actually try to read them. sometimes they fail to understand them, but sometimes they fail to understand the decision process... an rfc isn't a bible (and even if it was, everybody has his bible).
