Also, wasn't       there some issue with C code in some runtime environment under VMS where       times were expressed as delta times which hit a problem at 10000 days?              But apart from things centered around C one way or another, I can't see       that VMS would care.               Johnny              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
