- To make this useable on Amiga without compiling with GCC (I don't mind the
- ixemul.library, but in this case it seemed a bit lazy), I changed the gmtime()
- function to localtime() and adapted the option check, which uses sscanf, to
- react to proper error return codes.
-
- Since the plain Dice time functions don't support timezones and I had no
- intentions of using the locale.library (this is just a quick port), I
- implemented an extra option, -t followed by a timezone (ex: GMT+1 -> "-t1"). I
- also rewrote the command line parsing and added a quick help using a "-h"
- argument.
-
- If you're wondering why it's needed to specify a timezone, it's simply because
- a stardate is calculated from GMT (obviously, if you want something uniform
- for the whole of the universe... it better be independant of earth timezones
- :-)
