Sorry for getting off-topic .. but...23:59:60 is the same (if wold exist) like 00:00:00 and this is the New year...No: 23:59:60 is not the same as 00:00:00 http://hpiers.obspm.fr/eoppc/bul/bulc/bulletinc.dat So 31.12.2008 will be 86401 seconds long instead of 86400 seconds. But anyway.. your good old wall-clock (or ntp server ;-) ) doesn't care :) Regards, Adrian _______________________________________________ swinog mailing list swinog@lists.swinog.ch http://lists.swinog.ch/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/swinog
