Hi there Netlanders,

Time for a little summary of the replies I got about timezones:

Now I know all about timezones :-).
  
I have discovered that there is no such thing as GMT time anymore. It
has become Universal Time (UT) or Universal Coordinated Time (UCT)
depending on who sent the reply.  The appropriate references are ANSI
Standard X3.51-1975 and ISO 4031, neither of which I have not got hold
of (bit difficult out here) so I can't exactly say which of UT or UCT
is the `correct' one.


It turns out that Unix is backwards with respect to RFC822 (ANSI/ISO
etc) time. Mail headers should have +nnnn if the sending site is East
of Greenwich.  The Unix timezone offset requires the offset to
be -nnnn.

All I need to do now is to hack about with smail to get it to shove
the appropriate stuff on our mail headers, yeeHarr :->.

See Y'all Later, and Thanx for the memories.
