Seconds since Epoch

Is there an easy way to just get a big number of seconds since 01/01/1970 epcoh
time, or do i have to work it out with Calendar.Split ?
Any help appreciated

Yes, there is, but if you don't want to use calendar.split, then
the solution is OS- and compiler-dependent -- i.e., not portable.

Thanks, I thought that might be the case... an NG search on deja.com came up
with few old messages with procedure ideas... They seem a little long winded,
but i might as well use them.

Thanks again

    procedure Difference (Left, Right : Ada.Calendar.Time;
                          Days : out Day_Count;
                          Seconds : out Ada.Calendar.Day_Duration);
        -- Returns the difference between Left and Right.
        -- Days is the number of days of difference, Seconds is the
        -- remainder seconds of difference.
        -- If Left < Right, then Days is negative. (Seconds is always
        -- positive).
