Re: Time Program needed

I need a Palm program to compute GMT time, and return the julian date

be able to enter the hour offset for where ever in the world I happen
to be. I would also like to be able to adjust my palm clock from this
app. Is it possible to build a program to do this using code warrior?


Sure.  Why wouldn't it be possible?

Have you looked at the "Time Manager" chapter in the API reference?
It has probably most of what you need.

I don't think there is a function to give you the days since the
beginning of the year, but to figure out how many days today is
since the beginning of the year, you should be able to use DateToDays()
twice to get the answer:

	UInt32 now;
	DateType today;
	DateType firstdaythisyear;
	UInt32 dayssincejanuary1st;

	now = TimGetSeconds()

	DateSecondsToDate(now, &today);

	firstdaythisyear.year = now.year;
	firstdaythisyear.month = 1;
	firstdaythisyear.day = 1;

	dayssincejanuary1st = DateToDays(today) - DateToDays(firstdaythisyear);


This will give 0 for January 1st, so add 1 if you want the first day of
the year to be day #1 instead of day #0.

For the GMT stuff, you may be able to use TimTimeZoneToUTC() and
TimUTCToTimeZone(), depending on your purposes.
