It's probably system dependent and something not actually defined by the POSIX standard. For multi-user systems, it would make sense for time-stamps to be in UTC, whereas, for single-user systems (e.g. AmigaOS, BeOS, Windows?), time-stamps in the local timezone would be more appropriate. > Right, but although BeOS has it, I am unsure about AmigaOS and Windows > (and would think presumably not). I'll have to check on BeOS. If stat() returns local time-stamps, then the conversion won't be necessary there. It's certainly not necessary for AmigaOS, and I guess probably not Windows (since nobody has attempted to fix this problem in WinUAE, I guess it doesn't occur there). Cheers, Rich
