Jerry, The problem is that Time_Of is in local time. The UK was on daylight saving time on 1st Jan 1970, and so my reference is 1 hour out. Most time zones with no DST in operation will give the correct value. I'd overlook this possibility when I first wrote the C version. That's why we had to change it to the more complicated version using the TZ environment variable.
