Not realy, than Now is a float value in "Exel"-Stil i.e. Days (since when - don't hope since 1.1.1900) and seconds since midnight, but as I wrote Unix timestamp is an integer i.e. has only seconds. @Ron. Your Module is excellent, but I can't belief, that a programming language for the UNIX-environment isn't able to handle timestamps only after "reinventig the wheel". I think, we shoud ask Benoit why he didn't implement such a function or where he hide the information.
