HI,

Can someone verify the result of this little script on both platform  
Win and MacOS :

on mouseUp
   put "01/01/06" into d0
   put "04/12/06" into d1
   convert d0 to seconds
   convert d1 to seconds
   answer d0,d1,d1-d0,(d1-d0) div 86400
end mouseUp

On MacOS the result is: 1136073600,1144800000,8726400,101
On Win: 1136077200,1144800000,8722800,100

The difference in days between d0 and d1 is 101 on MacOSX and 100 on  
Win !

Any idea ?

Cheers,

Herve Chaudet
