Thanks for the thought, Norman.
The answer is yes, I have checked. The code works in my various RedHat
environments and has been for a long time. Also capital I is not what I
need; As your example illustrated, it returns a zero padded two digit
hour, but what I want/need is a non-padded hour, two or one digit,
depending. The reason I really care is because there are two programs that
have to talk to one another, one written in C and the other in Java. It
nearly doesn't matter which is which is which, they just have to agree on
the format. All was fine until I compiled the code on my cygwin
installation.
