[comp.sys.mac] Bug in LSC Unix Simulation

anson@elrond.UUCP (03/20/87)

I recently discovered a slightly bothersome bug in LightSpeed C's time()
function.  The manual says it returns the time in seconds since the
beginning of 1970, just like Unix does.  Great!  But it really returns the
time in seconds since the beginning of 1904, just like the Mac does.  This
could cause portability problems for programs intended for Unix, or coming
from Unix.  (Which is how I found out!)
