Hey mark!

 ml> your original statement implied that all systems would return UTC

I believe I said that it returns UTC on all the linux systems I have ever had
the pleasure to use although I never used those exact words.  I am now.

 ml> that's the only reason i said anything ;)

I doubt that but sure.  Anyhow, whether you implied it or not, your posting of
your output for 'time' serves as further proof of the superiority of the %s.%N
format given that even your system knew how to make the proper adjustment for
your obviously inferior methodology.  :::evil grin:::

Life is good,
Maurice
