This is a reason for having a distinct representation of UTC timestamps. You can have a future UTC time, and convert it between UTC and (say) London time, without being able to represent it as a realtime_t. I guess you need a conversion interface that accepts *two* tz parameters (source and destination). -zefram _______________________________________________ LEAPSECS mailing list LEAPSECS@leapsecond.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs
