                               // where you access date or time.  It defines
                               // functions to interact with Unix.

   // Use the following lines in any *function* where you access date or time.
   // They create objects to hold the time as formatted in Unix and to provide
   // access to the time field-by-filed.

   tm * local_time;                // pointer to a tm object              
   time_t current_time;            // time_t object to hold current time
   time( &current_time );                      // get the current date
   local_time = localtime( &current_time );    // break it up into a tm object

   // Here's how you access month, day, and year:

   int day   = local_time->tm_mday;
   int month = local_time->tm_mon + 1;       // month in tm is in range [0..11]
   int year  = local_time->tm_year + 1900;   // year in tm is number since 1900

   // Here's how you access hiurs, minutes, and seconds:

   int hour   = local_time->tm_hour;
   int minute = local_time->tm_min;
   int second = local_time->tm_sec;
