Time Function

Hi, I have question about the time() function in the C library of VSTa.
I noticed that it return time in sec since 1990 instead of the standard
1970. So my question is: does any body know what is the magic value of
the no of sec from 1970 to 1990? I need this so that it will be consistance
with values return by Linux. This is necessary because I am working on
a EXT2FS server now. I have manage to re-used most of the codes from
Linux, so writting a server is not too hard. Since the EXT2FS has a lot
of time-stamp in it (both the supper block and the usual files), and I
don't want to mess up these value when I access the FS from VSTa, I need
to get the time value relative to 1970 instead of 1990. When I complete
this server, we can share the fs between VSTa and Linux. I will than
work on the LILO boot of VSTa - this would enable us to do some works on
Linux and boot into VSTa for testing.
