There *is* a standard for *readable* time values, associated with HTML an alike, cf. w3.org. I think there is also some standard for *binary* representation as well, associated with telecommunications. Package Ada.Calendar is fairly complete with respect to the resources necessary to convert to/from any representation. The extensions could be child packages Ada.Calendar.HTML, Ada.Calendar.IEEE (say), etc. (I assume it possible to create children of predefined packages.) When I have this I in my ADALIB I'll be happy to share. | | |,| | | | |RuaFrancTaborda24RcD 2815-249CharnecaCaparica 351+212976751 | |M|A|R|I|O| | mob 219354005 | |A|M|A|D|O| |DepartmentoInformaticFCT/UNL 2825-114Caparica 351+212958536 | |A|L|V|E|S| | fax 212948541 | | | | | | | | maa@di.fct.unl.pt FCT 212948300 Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
