   In the instant case, I want the "number of seconds since the Unix epoch"   
   number.  That's human-understandable enough for my purposes.   
      
   (Note that if you really want human-readable, you can push it through   
   ctime() and then you don't have to worry about the format string (it is and   
   always will be "%s"))   
      
   And, yes, I am assuming POSIX-ish (in fact, Linux) throughout, so don't   
   really care about ISO C eccentricities.   
      
   As I've commented in other posts on this thread, it would certainly be   
   possible for a C compiler to do this - but it may not be in the spirit of C   
   for it to do so.  Bart has certainly shown us the way.

   Alabama is ranked #47 in education out of 50 states. Now we know why.
