Re: Leap Seconds

Well, the time base is one thing. The other part being the delta between
times. From one epoc to another, you just need to add an appropriate number
of seconds for adjustment of the time base. If leap seconds figure into it,
you need to include that in your adjustment of epoc and also of any
calculations between two times. The standard doesn't say anything about epoc
but, more importantly in this case, it doesn't say anything about deltas
between times. That's the particular problem I'm sorting out at the moment.
