Feel free to get the new bug-fixed "timedatebody.bet" at: "users/mannan/Public/timedate/v1.1a/private/timedatebody.bet" This zip files contains both "timedate.bet", the fixed "timedatebody.bet" and a test program "timenowtest.bet": "users/mannan/Public/timedate-fixed.zip" SOME TECHNICAL INFORMATION: The old timedate called a external routine "localtime_r" which des not exist on win95/NT. The new timedate calls a routine "localtime" instead, this routine exists on both unix, linux and win95/NT. -- +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Manmathan Kumar, Kirsebærhaven 71A 8520 Lystrup, Denmark.
