The current Ada example 29 code has xmin := 1133395200.0; (no underscores), and yes, that hard-coded value gives identical results to the C example which is implemented in UTC to avoid anomalies in daylight savings time that occur for such locales as the UK. Both the Python and Java examples are implemented in UTC for the same reason. So Jerry, either settle for the current hard-coded value or else implement the Ada time calculations for example 29 in UTC. Local time just doesn't cut it. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
