BSD/OS does not have that function.

Hmph. I was wondering if that was really portable or not :-(. Any ideas about a quick-and-dirty replacement?

Maybe we could call abstimein or something like that.  We just want to

I thought the strptime behavior was all that friendly anyway...

Under FreeBSD:

"     The strptime() function does not correctly handle multibyte characters in
     the format argument"

Not sure how critical that is for what you are doing, mind you ...
