Problem: I am working on a multi-tiered system that has components that run on different operating systems. I need a julian timestamp in
java that will matchup with the julian timestamp on the Tandem (HP) os. If it were HPUX, that would be great, but it's not.
The beginning of the epoch for Tandem/HP is 12/31/74
The beginning of the epoch for Java is 1/1/70
Right now, the timestamps we're generating are being interpreted as dates in the far future. It's all wrong.
On the PCs and Unix machines, we're fine. On the Tandem, we're in "tomorrowland"...
Any ideas on how I can set the calendar object to have a different "epoch" start date and get a julian timestamp?
Thanks,
Maffy
