Please don't top post. Material you add in a reply belongs AFTER
quoted material you are commenting on, as I did below. There are
patches for Microsoft's boorish excuse for a virus catcher, er,
newsreader, to correct its ignorant default behavior of putting the
cursor at the top. Google for one and install it.
The "time" function returns the number of seconds elapsed since 00:00:00
Greenwich mean time (GMT), January 1, 1970, according to the system clock.
This is neither required nor guaranteed by C++. It happens to be true
on some systems, not true on others. C++ inherits its definition of
time_t and time() from ISO C. The only guarantee is that time_t is an
arithmetic type. Nothing is specified about its resolution or
interpretation.
