We are making an embedded system manipulating date until the year 2100 with
the function mktime and other standard C functions.
Is there a release date for a new version of the C library supporting time_t
an
unsigned or other solution for manipulating date with the year 2100.

Thanks,
Rejean Senecal

Not yet, but you can grab the source from the public cvs tree, and modify it
to suit your application.

Would it be way out of line to suggest the ability to change the start of
the epoc as a system level global variable?

Since time_t gives a 136 year window some might like to move that window
around. Yes, I realize that would make it non-ANSI.
