description

prtime prints the current date and time, and whether it is DST or not, without asking you to change the time. this is different from typing in TIME and hitting enter.

a program like this allows you to be able to time events.

gcc compiler note: -fpack-struct cannot be used with iostream or anything to do with libstdc++ (including locale which includes iostream) without getting lots of errors.

The dos version is compiled with DJ Delorie's djgpp (gcc for DOS). It can be obtained at DJDelorie.com/djgpp.

The windows version was compiled with Borland C++ 5.5 (free edition). It is available at article (may include patches), free compiler (requires regisration).

The GNU compiler set has the peculiar ability to glob filenames at the command line. this can be a nice or an unwanted feature. to get around it, aurround the * with double quotes "*". This includes DJGPP-generated and MinGW-generated code.

The windows version was also compiled with MinGW 5.1.4 which is a GNU compiler set for windows. it has the peculiarity that it requires any use of __int64 to #include <basestd.h>, and it also doesn't allow 64-bit constants in the microsoft/borland style of appending i64 to the number. it requires you to use the gcc LL instead, however, printf does use %I64d rather than the normal gcc %lld. If you use %lld, your program will crash and do the DrWatson error report thing.
