From this and the proceeding discussion, I gather that the Ada example with the Time_Of function, when run in the UK, does not generate the same Postscript code as example 29 in C, but when run in North America, it does. Is that correct? Again, could someone check to see if xmin := Long_Float(Time_Of(2005, 12, 1, 0.0) - Time_Of(1970, 1, 1, 0.0)); results in a value for xmin of 1_133_395_200.0 when run in the UK, as it does in North America? According to my reading of the Ada Reference Manual, it should.
