I am trying to compile a program called "mcvert" (shareware from sumex) and it requires a file named "timeb.h". However the Iris 4DGT I am using does not possess a "timeb.h". It does have time.h and times.h. Should I substitute one of the available .h files? Or do I need to acquire the timeb.h file, and if so from where? -- Vernon McDonald (vmcdonald@uiuc.edu) Department of Kinesiology, University of Illinois, Urbana, IL, 61801

The structures in timeb.h are only referenced by the time2mac routine, so the
problem is small. The ftime operation according to the BSD man page says:
NAME
time, ftime - get date and time
...
DESCRIPTION
These interfaces are obsoleted by gettimeofday(2).
Time returns the time since 00:00:00 GMT, Jan. 1, 1970,
measured in seconds.
So, the answer is to use <sys/time.h> and gettimeofday instead of
<sys/timeb.h> and ftime. The following is a first cut at what should work:
ulong time2mac(time)
ulong time;
{struct timeval tptime;
struct timezone tpzone;
gettimeofday(&tptime, &tpzone);
return long2mac(time + MACTIMEDIFF
- 60 * (tpzone.tz_minuteswest - 60 * tpzone.tz_dsttime));
}
Good Luck!
