subject: Division by time?!

On 30 Sep 98  06:56:00, George was going on about "Division by time?!"...

 GW> Hi Gerry,

 GD> GW> You have to do it yourself :-(.

 GD> GW> t.ti_sec = t.ti_sec + 61;
 GD> GW> if (60 <= t.ti_sec)
 GD> GW> {
 GD> GW> t.ti_sec -= 60;
 GD> GW> t.ti_min += 1;
 GD> GW> if (60 <= t.ti_min)
 GD> GW> {
 GD> GW> t.ti_min -= 60;
 GD> GW> t.ti_hour += 1;
 GD> GW> if (24 <= t.ti_hour)
 GD> GW> t.ti_hour -= 24;
 GD> GW> }
 GD> GW> }

 GD>Doesn't that structure also hold day, month, etc.?

 GW> Nope :-). The "time" structure is an extension to ANSI C, it's
 GW> specific to MS/PCDOS and is in reality the data structure used by INT
 GW> 21 Functions 0x2C and 0x2D.

 GW> The one that is standard C and holds everything is the
"tm" structure.

Which compiler are your using?  I can't find a struct called "time"...
