Thanks for the thought, Norman. The answer is yes, I have checked. The code works in my various RedHat environments and has been for a long time. Also capital I is not what I need; As your example illustrated, it returns a zero padded two digit hour, but what I want/need is a non-padded hour, two or one digit, depending. The reason I really care is because there are two programs that have to talk to one another, one written in C and the other in Java. It nearly doesn't matter which is which is which, they just have to agree on the format. All was fine until I compiled the code on my cygwin installation. -shrug- Richard -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
