   Hey Benny!

   Huh?  I am still seeing glib as a REQUIRED dependency for mc.  What source are   
   they using?

    BP> timezone or adjust to utc   
      
     TZ=UTC date +%z | tr -d +

   is probably what he is looking for.  That is the defective castrated fidonet   
   version.  Myself I am using;   
      
     TZ=UTC+00:01:00 date +%z | tr -d +   
     -0001   
      
   which is 1 minute west of prime meridian and doesn't suffer from the lossy '+'   
   character fidonet crap.  UTC offsets (%z) only output hh:mm whereas the TZ   
   above is capable of hh:mm:ss which make it vastly more powerful than a   
   castrated utc offset ... to say the least.  Offhand I'm thinking about using   
   it as part of a coordinate system for a "Fidonet Time Space Continuum" now   
   that the FTSC has become defunct.  Why waste a perfectly good echoarea?  I   
   think it could be recycled.  :-)   
      
   Life is good,
