Hello, I am relatively new to programming in C++, being one of the first at BNR Richardson to 'test the water' of object oriented programming. I am responsible for writing a piece of code that must take a time and date and convert it for storage as a time_t (long) type. The best functions I can think of for the task are timegm and timelocal. However, while they have always worked fine for me in C, I am having trouble compiling the code in C++. I have included the C++ version of time.h as the manual pages tell me to, but this .h file does not define these functions (only gmtime, localtime, time, etc...). Is there something I am missing? Are my AT&T v2.0 C++ include files wrong? I would appreciate any help you can give me on this. Thanks in advance, Sean Thompson Bell Norther Research, Richardson Tx PS. My mailer is screwed up - so please post answers, I will not receive email.

ANSI C defines funcions gmtime and localtime. Evidently your local C implementation used functions with different names (and possibly different workings). Check the old manual for the old functions' specifications, and the new manual (or an ANSI C text) for the the new functions' specifications. You should find the changes easy to make. -- Steve Clamage, TauMetric Corp, steve@taumet.com
