   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,
