*
* C-callable routine to convert the number of seconds since BC to a date string

* programmer - steve hankin
* NOAA/PMEL, Seattle, WA - Tropical Modeling and Analysis Program

* v5.33 *acm* SECS_TO_DATE needs arg cal_id. Use Gregorian - these calls
*             are used in converting today's date for labels, etc.  See
*             gui/Utility.c and gui/JC_Utility.c

* V400: 11/94 

	include	'tmap_dims.parm'
	include	'ferret.parm'
	include 'xprog_state.cmn'

* calling argument declarations:
	REAL*8 bcsecs
#ifdef sun
        BYTE hdate(*)
#else
        INTEGER*1 hdate(*)
#endif

* local variable declarations
	INTEGER	  TM_LENSTR1, slen, cal_id
	CHARACTER SECS_TO_DATE*20, temp_str*20

	cal_id = 1	! Gregorian (default) calendar

* do the conversion using FORTRAN CHARACTER variables
	temp_str = SECS_TO_DATE(bcsecs, cal_id)

* now convert the result into a C string
	slen = TM_LENSTR1( temp_str )
	CALL TM_FTOC_STRNG( temp_str, hdate, slen )

	RETURN
