Dear Stephen, dear Mike,

Since I haven't got any response so far, may I ask you again to consider 
my mail from September 2009?

Thank you

Hi Aldor Users,

the functions "time", "ctime", "strlen" and "strcpy" are all defined by
C89. These are the only functions used in the UNIX version of "osDate",
so I suggest lifting it out of os_unix into opsys.c, since it should work
on every platform implementing standard C. Any objections?
