Note that the passage being changed dates back to the 1980s, when Hewlett Packard had variant time handling software; I believe the Howard E. Hinnant package is distinct from that. One possibility: reference both, expanding "folks at Hewlett Packard" to "folk at Hewlett Packard in the 1980s." @dashdashado On Fri, May 25, 2018 at 2:14 PM, Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> wrote:

Heh, that change came from my noticing that the text misspelled HP's name; there should have been a hyphen between "Hewlett" and "Packard". And then when I looked into what the passage was about, it appeared that the circa-1980 HP work was long-dead. At least, I couldn't find mention of it in the most recent HP-UX manual I could find <http://h20628.www2.hp.com/km-ext/kmcsdirect/emr_na-c01921592-1.pdf>. So that's why I replaced its mention with a pointer to Hinnant's recent work. If the HP API is still actively used and there's a URL for it, we can certainly put it back in.
