But 'time' is one of those things I really don't have a handle on. The business about time zones and daylight time. Both localtime() and gmtime() return the time of the system clock and tm_zone says "GMT" and tm_gmtoff is 0. Is there some setup thing such that localtime() reports the system clock, tm_zone is "EST" and gmtime() is five hours later? Do you know why... - all the time functions take pointers to time_t vars rather than values. - tm_mday is the only rel-1 value in struct tm. All others are rel-0.
