This is due to the (wrong, IMHO) choice to use DOS strftime flags rather than the Unix ones. The DOS flags are as follows (from VC++): %a Abbreviated weekday name %A Full weekday name %b Abbreviated month name %B Full month name %c Date and time representation appropriate for the locale %d Day of the month as a decimal number (01 - 31) %H Hour in 24-hour format (00 - 23) %I Hour in 12-hour format (01 - 12) %j Day of the year as a decimal number (001 - 366) %m Month as a decimal number (01 - 12) %M Minute as a decimal number (00 - 59) %p Current locale's A.M./P.M. indicator for a 12-hour clock %S Second as a decimal number (00 - 59) %U Week of the year as a decimal number, with Sunday as the first day of the week (00 - 51) %w Weekday as a decimal number (0 - 6; Sunday is 0) %W Week of the year as a decimal number, with Monday as the first day of the week (00 - 51) %x Date representation for current locale %X Time representation for current locale %y Year without the century as a decimal number (00 - 99) %Y Year with the century as a decimal number %z Time zone name or abbreviation; no characters if time zone is unknown %% Percent sign You'll probably need to #ifdef __CYGWIN32__ the strftimes and use the DOS codes. -- James Dumser 972-462-5335 dumser@ti.com - For help on using this list, send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
