But since the docs are so vague if it does break code it will most likely be because someone didn't follow the warnings in the spec. And while we are on this subject, does anyone have any issues if I cause _strptime to recognize UTC and GMT as timezones? The Solaris box I always use to do libc strptime comparisons to does not recognize it as an acceptable value for %Z, but since it is a known fact that neither have daylight savings I feel _strptime should recognize this fact and set the daylight savings value to 0 insteading of raising an error saying it doesn't know about that timezone. Any objections to the change? -Brett
