[Chicken-users] time/date

[Anthony Carrico]

Chicken has time->date, but not date->time. I was hacking in support
for date->time when I discovered that Chicken doesn't have enough
dynamic range to represent time in general. This is bad. For example:

>>> (seconds->string 1073741823)
"Sat Jan 10 08:37:03 2004\n"

>>> (seconds->string 1073741824)
Warning: exact literal exceeds range
"1073741824"
Error: bad argument type - not a fixnum: 1073741824.
