But I would think that emacs should fetch the same couple words (i.e., two bytes) representing the time regardless of which OS it is running on. But I'm guessing that the problem isn't the accuracy of the time, but rather the human-readable output derived from those words. I trust that you've read and understand the help on "format-time-string"... i.e., C-h f format-time-string [Return] hth, ken - -- The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them. -- Albert Einstein -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFIwBpk8CeNiFrQkecRAqiUAJ9KqePfBDQBzKwH35JAEYpprqpYRQCfTBMl SRmyj/ePHpuTgTJ3Ha1BXXg= =HQqT -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
