For my problem, you get wrong. The unix timestamp is not only the time 
of a file. It is the time in seconds since the 1. Jan. 1970. Even the 
system clock only counts the seconds.

My problem is, that a network application send a timestamp as a string. 
I have to convert this string into Date and Time - which is usually done 
in C or PHP or... by a function of a system library (which of course 
know leap years).

And some times I would like to generate a timestamp as well, for example 
to send it to a database.

Another helper out there?
