Well, there are wonderful functions standard with C for getting the
system date in long int (time_t) format, and for converting it to a
pretty structure (struct tm) with all the pieces broken out... but
there is no way I know of to fill in such a structure and make a
time_t out of it... e.g. for System V "touch" which allows a date
argument to be given.

Does anyone have the code for this (struct tm) to (time_t) conversion?

Thanks!
