Paul.              Actually, the limit is 31-bit. So, why not use the entire 32-bit? i.e. an       unsigned `time_t`. That'll give you another 68 years, before actually       hitting the 32-bit limit. I'm pretty sure most people here would have been       in their utopia by then.              If that isn't enough, then make a completely new specification. No point of       using a specification which needs periodical fixing.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
