Hello,
Could you explain to me why I get slightly different time-stamps under
Windows and Linux?
This is what I get in Linux
2008-08-19 wto 07:26
and under Windows I get
2008-08-05 Wt 11:44
Namely the problem is with %%a - abbreviated day of week.
Here are the settings under Linux:
(locale-info 'codeset): "ISO-8859-2"
locale-coding-system: iso-latin-2
and under Windows I have
locale-coding-system: iso-latin-2
system-time-locale: iso-latin-2
system-message-locale: iso-latin-2
(locale-info 'codeset): "cp1250"
Under Linux iso-latin-2 is set by default and on Windows I have to put
the following in .emacs file

These localized weekday names come from the system. No amount of
configuration within Emacs will make them the same in Windows as they
are in GNU/Linux.

I'm not quite understanding your problem. And I don't often use
Windows. But I would think that emacs should fetch the same couple
words (i.e., two bytes) representing the time regardless of which OS it
is running on. But I'm guessing that the problem isn't the accuracy of
the time, but rather the human-readable output derived from those words.
I trust that you've read and understand the help on
"format-time-string"... i.e.,

The problem is not the time, but the abbreviated name of the second
day of the week ("Tue" in English). These abbreviated names come from
a call to a library function, which are different on Windows and on
GNU/Linux, so they return different strings.

Because this way the output is predictably formatted, and programs can
read it with a well-known, predefined format. The `format-time-string'
function can be used for locale-aware results.
