Here I prefer to have 2 digit years, so I used:


     sprintf (timeStr, "%0d/%0d/%0d", timeRec->tm_mon+1,
                                 timeRec->tm_mday,
                                 timeRec->tm_year % 100);

This will give (using the test program from Tim Cutts):

Current time:
short: 1/6/00
long:  06-Jan-2000 15:31
date: 06-Jan-2000
