While the PSX routines are clearly very useful as they stand, they do not always present the information in the manner that you may want. An example of this is the subroutine PSX_CTIME, which returns the data and time in a particularly perverse format. The temptation to `improve' some routines has been resisted to ensure that there is consistency between the PSX routines and the corresponding true POSIX or C run-time library routines. However, there is clearly a need for routines that pull together some of the PSX routines in a more user friendly way and to provide information in a different manner. These routines will be provided in a separate package.
