Hi folks:

Having a time problem w/DJGPP:

Tried...

   struct tm *today;
   struct timeval t;

   gettimeofday(&t,NULL);
   today = localtime(&t.tv_sec);

...and...

   struct tm *today;
   u_long clock;

   (void) time(&clock);
   today = localtime(&clock);

...both return an integer value of 2147482596; which equates to
Thu Jan 1 12:28:12 1970 (as per ctime()). So something's definitely
rotten here.

I also noticed the time it gave me was five zones west of my location(???).

So we're either not setting things correctly, or something in DJGPP
really stinks. Probably the former.

How'm I screwing up?

Thanx in advance...

--------->Mike.
