Help
I'm running OS/9 Professional on a 68030 system. I'm trying to get the
date and time from the system with this bit of programing.

#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
int *time,*date,*tick;
short *day;

_sysdate(0,&time,&date,&day,&tick);

printf("Time is Time:%d  date:%d  date:%d tick:%d",time,date,day,tick);

}

no big deal right. but this is what I get;
for the time and date of june 17, 1991 3:16:47 pm.

time:987183
date 130483729
day 65536
tick 108236
I don't know what or how to make of it but if somebody could give me some
tips I would greatly appreciated. Thanks scott
