As you can see, it's not the same date - it's simply what happens when you take Midnight, January 1st 1970, and *subtract* 2^31 seconds (about 68 years) from it. I wonder why this behavior. I don't remember Unix ever allowing dates being negative to signify dates before 1970... -- Nadav Har'El | Thursday, Jan 6 2005, 25 Tevet 5765 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone +972-523-790466, ICQ 13349191 |Give Yogi a rifle.
