[comp.sys.mac.programmer] time

herbw@midas.WR.TEK.COM (Herb Weiner) (11/27/90)

According to THINK's Lightspeed C (3.0) Standard Libraries Reference,
page 183, the time() function returns number of seconds since January
1, 1970, 00:00:00.

According to THINK C (4.0) Standard Library Reference, page 151, the
time() function returns "the current calendar time".  Apparently, the
function value is NOT compatible with the function returned by version
3.0.

Have I done something so stupid it should be obvious?  Or is the version
4.0 function really incompatible with the version 3.0 function?  Exactly
what does the version 4.0 function return?  Is there anyway to get the
version 3.0 function, short of reinstalling version 3.0 on my machine?

Thanks for your assistance.
