Greetings all.
I am a relatively new programmer in the C language and I have recently hit a
snag in a program that I am trying to write.  Ultimate purpose of the program
is to print out a nicely formatted monthly calender using a CoCo 3 and OS9
Level 2. 

I just tried to add code to the program that is supposed to extract the current
month and year from the system clock using the getime() function as defined in
the MicroWare and Carl Krieder C libraries for OS9 LII.

I am using the standard time.h file that defines the following structure:

struct sgtbuf {
        char   t_year,
                        t_month,
                        t_day,
                        t_hour,
                        t_minute,
                        t_second;
};

The section of code from my program is as follows:

#include 
.
.
.
main()
{
int month,year;
struct sgtbuf *timeinfo;

getime(timeinfo);

month = timeinfo.t_month;
year = timeinfo.t_year;

}

When compiled, this give "undeclared variable" and "struct member required"
errors for the timeinfo.t_month and timeinfo.t_year statements.
If I follow the example from the manual I have for the Krieder library and
declare timeinfo as follows:

        struct sgtbuf timeinfo;

I get the further error "cannot evaluate size".

Can any of you folks tell me what I am doing wrong and how to fix the problem. 
Like I say, I am relatively new to C and I have had no formal training in the
language.  Any assistance would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
