local-time is a development library for manipulating date and time information in a semi-standard manner. It is based almost entirely off of Erik Naggum's paper, The Long, Painful History of Time. It includes such features as:
The library has been tested under sbcl 1.1.x on Linux x86 and x86-64. It requires cl-fad for operation (Stefil is required to run tests). It has been placed under the BSD license.

There is a short manual describing the API.
