Thanks for clearing this up.

I was hoping to actually see the safer Win32 API used
(e.g. localtime_s() instead of localtime()) but I
guess this is would require putting this collection of
functions in the msw subdirectory like other
Windows-specific modules. That's probably too much
work for such little gain, right?

BTW, I noticed the discussion on wxWidgets not
signaling anything on failed 'new', which made me
somewhat nervous: Is wxWidgets really good for non
mission critical applications only?

Or am I missing something in understanding the issue? 

Isn't it is always better to catch insufficient system
resource AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE in the process lifetime?

Thanks,
Dave
