localtime_s not working in VS2003

Hey guys. I am not a c++ programmer but i am trying to compile a code and i get this:

c:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\Desktop\arcemu\src\arcem u-world\BattlegroundMgr.cpp(1072): error C3861: 'localtime_s': identifier not found, even with argument-dependent lookup

I made a few search and found out localtime_s works only for VS2005+

Can somewone show me how i can work arround that beside changing my application lol

Code:

---

1070 t = time(NULL);
1071
1072 #ifdef WIN32
1073        localtime_s(&tm, &t);
1074 #else
1075        localtime_r(&t, &tm);
1076 #endif

---

So do you have localtime_r ?

localtime_r after all is supposed to be a standard function. I've no idea what the _s is for, except to glue yourself to MS

I think localtime_s is MS's 'secure' version. Unless you are writing software for an anti-virus company or some other company that requires tight security I can't think of a good reason to use the 'secure' versions. I know that some companies require you to due to the nature of their business.
