[time-nuts] GPS time, UTC and TAI

If you need time/date calculation code, search the net for "Lilian Date"

Most implementations allow for fractional manipulation of dates/times.  So
for example you can take a date time stamp convert to Lilian, add 4 hours 23
minutes and 9 seconds and convert back.

Either that or convert to epoch seconds and manipulate the seconds value.

Martyn,

> Any ideas how I can do that with a normal M12M GPS receiver.

Your question leaves open where you see the real problem in doing so. Is it
a problem of doing time/date based math (which may be tricky when it comes
to handling of different month's length and leap years)? Or is it something
different? Do you have a microcontroller or a pc available for that task?
What is your programming environment?

Best regards
Ulrich
