The underlying C functions should handle dates prior to the epoch (those corresponding to a negative time_t value). For a 32-bit time_t, the range of valid times is (in UTC): Seconds YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss -2147483648 1901-12-13 20:45:52 2147483647 2038-01-19 03:14:07 -- Glynn Clements <[email protected]>
