I'm trying to use Data.Time, and I'm totally confused. DiffTime is abstract, and I don't see anything that maps into it. How do I construct one? I would like to then use the result to create a value of type UTCTime, but it seems (currently) like this might be easier.

It's an instance of Num etc. (as seconds). -- Ashley Yakeley Seattle WA
Ok, that's much simpler than I was making it. fromIntegral or
fromRational does the trick. Obvious in hindsight, I guess. Thanks!
