The file "fastIO.tar.Z" contains C code for several algorithms that
translate Gregorian dates to and from a 64-bit timestamp. These
algorithms explore a range of time and space tradeoffs. We also
compared these algorithms with similar routines found in Unix, the
Localtime public domain suite that can replace the Unix routines, and
the Gnu time library. All of those tests are also located here. The
ftpable document "reports/1993/TR93-01.ps.Z" describes everything in
much greater detail.
To use this code you will need the Gnu compiler, version 2.0 or more,
or some other C compiler that supports 64-bit integers (a long long).
You will also need approximately 4MB of disk space for the source
code, object files, and executables. The file "fastIO.tar.Z" only
contains the C code, Makefiles, and READMEs.
