I am trying to set the time on a HARRIS machine. The values I have are
hours, minutes, seconds, day, year, and month. I was first going to use
stime() but you need to pass a long int from Jan 1 1970. I did not find
any routines to convert what I have to a long int.
My next try was to use a call to system() with the "date" command and
parameters but the date command on the HARRIS does not support seconds.
I need to find out if there is a way using systems calls or library routines
to set the date with my parameters. Or even the sources to convert my parameters
to that long int from 1970.
