While it's academic as far as this thread is concerned, you can get much the same effect by making time_t a (positive) unsigned value and redefining the epoch to be 1901-12-13 20:45:54 UTC. But, if you're going to redefine the epoch, there are a whole lot of options available. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mo...@rodents-montreal.org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
