Hi Pascal,
This looks like exactly what I want except that it
doens't work :) Is time-stamp-string availaible only
in cvs emacs? I should have mentioned that I'm
running the precompiled emacs 21.3.1 on a windows box.
Apropos doesn't show any hits for time-stamp-string.
If the case is that your suggested code is only good
for cvs emacs, do you know of any older functions
which are roughly equivalent? Thanks.
