Re: time-overflow

Hi

Are you trying to do calculations on this or do you have a process that is based on a 31.68808781403 Year cycle ?

Re: time-overflow

I take it you mean the value of 'seconds since the epoch' which in the UK equates to Sun Sep 9 02:46:40 2001.

There didn't ought to be a problem as the standard C routines use a 'time_t' variable type which will be at least a 32 bit integer value and is good until sometime in 2037.

Interesting question though. I wonder if the 'Y2K police' are aware of it?

Regards,
John
