Remind me to concentrate on a single problem at a time.  :-)

The function you want is gmtime(), which returns a struct tm.  Syntax
example:

     time_t x;
     struct tm *t;
     time(&x);
     t = gmtime(&t);

Note also localtime(), which converts for time zones.  Both of these are
in the ANSI portion of time.h.  Did you see my second reply to your
question?
