Firstly, most System V sites do not have bzero(3), which simply places arg2 zeroes into arg1. This is simple enough to replace, with a for loop. This is in btimep.c. Secondly, I don't see a need for another date library, but phoon is quite cute. Can someone explain why the included library is better than Sys V date(3)?? Has anyone re-written phoon to use date, so I can throw away this library? Finally, deltime prints dddd hh/mm/ss. I fail to see how the author could have used this to see how old he was. For this purpose, it should be in yyyy ddd hh/mm/ss format. Eric Safern ...aecom!aecom2!safern
