An updated draft is available on elsie.nci.nih.gov as ~ftp/pub/draft-strftime.tar.Z, which includes strftime.c and the header files it references. The draft version incorporates the shift to use of sprintf to generate output. This makes the code simpler; it may irk folks who get the standard input/output library dragged in when they call strftime. The handling of "%D" and "%x" have been separated so that they can be changed independently. Right now they're still treated identically in the code; comments have been added giving other possibilities for "%x" handling. The worry is that some piece of code out there is counting on the current "%x" behavior and will break if it is changed. (Yes, counting on "%x" behavior is worng.) As always, any comments are welcome. --ado
