After checking %DJDIR%/include/time.h, the following functions are
declared as ANSI, along with the associated struct definitions:

char *		asctime(const struct tm *_tptr);
clock_t		clock(void);
char *		ctime(const time_t *_cal);
double		difftime(time_t _t1, time_t _t0);
struct tm *	gmtime(const time_t *_tod);
struct tm *	localtime(const time_t *_tod);
time_t		mktime(struct tm *_tptr);
size_t		strftime(char *_s, size_t _n, const char *_format, 
                         const struct tm *_tptr);
time_t		time(time_t *_tod);

I really hope you can find _something_ in there that will help...
