Not strftime(), this is a strptime(), which is a complementary function to strftime.. strftime() takes a tm struct and a pointer to a string and spits out a date string specified by a user supplied format ex: Aug-12-1995 strptime() takes a string like this and parses it..then fills in a tm struct...exactly the reverse of strftime. I was in the process of writing it myself, and then some nice soul just mailed me the proposed strptime source..THANKS! That just saved me several hours of toil. Plus its MUCH cleaner that gnu's strptime.c ..I gave up trying to port it because it was a hacked up piece of dung. Thanks, Jason Hudgins
