Is midnight 00:00 or 24:00? I think that pretending to support UT1 and TAI on most computers is too much of a fiction to be justifiable in a library of this kind. The vast majority of programs don't need absolute time to sub-second accuracy, and the vast majority of operating systems can't even support UTC leap seconds correctly. Time specialists do need this stuff, but they'll have their own code. Tony. -- f.a.n.finch <dot@dotat.at> http://dotat.at/ BISCAY: WEST 5 OR 6 BECOMING VARIABLE 3 OR 4. SHOWERS AT FIRST.
