> Cool (you could verify with m-x date-insert). I'm not going to try and compile LyX 1.4.x on Windows using g++ ATM. Last time I tried, linking failed after over 1 hour as I ran out of 1.5GB of virtual memory... (Side issue, I do have the free-as-beer MSVC compiler on my Windows box and am trying to get a tool chain using it up and running. As and when...) However, I will try out a small test program for you along the lines of the the thing I posted in response to John's suggestion: namespace lyx { /** Returns a locale-dependent formatting of the date * and time encoded in @c time. */ std::string const formatted_time(time_type time); } -- Angus
