 * Sun people can’t spell worth damn. “compatability” indeed.
 * At least we *know* we can’t spell, and use a
 * spell-checker.
 */

/* Uh, actually Linus it is I who cannot spell. Too much
 * murky Sparc assembly will do this to ya.

Real-time clock

Christoph

/*
 * Yeah, yeah, it’s ugly, but I cannot find how to do this
 * correctly and this seems to work. If anybody has more info
 * on the real-time clock I’d be interested. Most of this
 * was trial and error, and some bios-listing reading. Urghh.

  DELIMITER => ‘ ‘,
  INCLUDE_PATH => ‘C:/HERE/NOW D:/THERE/THEN’,

Das Jahr 1970 Problem

Christoph

/*
 * PS. I hate whoever though up the year 1970 – couldn’t
 * they have gotten a leap-year instead? I also hate
 * Gregorius, pope or no. I’m grumpy.
