   Andrew Leary to Michiel van der Vlist   
   Feature request

   Hello Michiel!   
      
   01 Mar 17 16:49, you wrote to all:   
      
    MV> In order to make it easier for nodelist clerks to synchronise their   
    MV> efforts across time zones, I suggest the following;   
      
    MV> UseUTC (0/1)    (default 0)   
      
    MV> This instructs MakeNl to use UTC instead of local time to determine   
    MV> the day of the week and other time related issues.   
      
    MV> E.G. When it is Thursday 21:00 local time and it is Friday 01:00 UTC,   
    MV> Makenl will act as if is is run on Friday and use the day of the week   
    MV> number corresponding to Friday.   
      
    MV> In some cases, it may be necessary to override the OS's and/or   
    MV> compiler's time functions. So I suggest the following option:   
      
    MV> UseTZUTC (0/1)  (default 0)   
      
    MV> Use the TZUTC environment variable to derive UTC from local time,   
    MV> instead of using the value supplied by the OS and/or the compiler's   
    MV> library functions.   
      
   Your feature request is noted.  This will take some time to code and test, so    
   I can make no promises as to when it will be available.
