snprintf's behavior is to return the number of characters that would have been generated had the output buffer not been limited. That being true, I think the asctime.c below does what Paul intended. Does anyone see problems with using this in the next bundle?
The main difference I see is that Paul's can compile and work on old systems which lack a snprintf(). His code *does* use the system's snprintf() in just the way you describe, if the HAVE_SNPRINTF preprocessor feature-test variable claims that it is available. --Ken Pizzini
