->I think I found a bug in Lattice 3.10's getft() (at least in my libraries
->its wrong :-)): it subtracts exactly six hours from the time shown by
->AmigaDOS's List command.  Anyone else found this???

Did you check to see which time zone the program thought you were in ? :-)
A common question from my student days "The stupid time function is broken,
it is 8 hours off!" Answer "What time would it be if you lived in Britian?"
Don't know if Lattice is taking that into account or not but it is worth
a shot.
