I would like to suggest that there is some documentation missing from strptime.
There appears to be a way to show second decimals by using "%OS4" (change the number to get more or less decimals), but it's not mentioned anywhere that I can find. After a long time searching and experimenting I finally found this in the r-help archives, but I couldn't find anything in the help or in various package vignettes. http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/POSIXct-value-display-incorrect-for-some-values-td4311446.html Also, I would think there should be a link to strptime in the "see also" portion of every function that has anything to do with time / dates, since this function has the conventions for all the time formatting used for importing, converting, and printing time/dates.
