I'm looking for a function to convert a "broken down" time (ie, day, month, year, hour, min format) to a long compatible with the time function call. Does anyone have such a beast? Thanks. -Scott -- =============================================================================== Scott A. Sharkey UUCP: osu-cis!bcd-dyn!sas I-LAN, Inc. USPS: 640 Lakeview Plaza Bvld.

In your B News source, you should find ``getdate.y'', which (after being yacc'ed and compiled) takes a character pointer and converts it to a long, suitable for use with ctime(3), etc. It understand various input formats. There's even a manual page provided (``getdate.3'') ...tad -- Tad Guy <tadguy@cs.odu.edu> Old Dominion University, Norfolk, VA
