#time_t

Considering the real time clock on the Asspull IIIx runs at an offset from the host's reported time and defaults to January 1 1984 (you're supposed to reset it), and considering this is the only 64-bit register on the system... I wonder if that's worth the effort?

GCC actually has to pull in some extra support routines just to let the time functions handle such a large value.

If I make its time_t 32-bit it'll cut its range, but it'll look more contemporary and simplifies the compiled code.

/* You have an int variable in seconds (since January 1, 1970), and you want to convert it to a time_t object. What you do is just casting*/

time_t convertSecondsToTime_t(int seconds)

{

time_t result=(time_t)seconds;

return result;
