Why don't people read? According the K&R, 'time_t' is an arithmetic type that is defined a part of the standard C library. So, if you want to change time_t to a struct, you need to re-define the C language (the standard library is basically part of the language). -- Chris Adams <cadams@ro.com> - System Administrator Renaissance Internet Services - IBS Interactive, Inc.
