| Why do you adjust file times according to timezones?
| A file created at 12:00 GMT will have its time stamped 12:00 GMT
| whatever timezone it was created, archived or extracted.
| File times are stored internally relative to GMT. When stored
| this way, they should be retrieved this way. No need to change it.

  I don't understand this comment at all. Files are stored internally
*where* as GMT? The only o/s which does this (as far as I know) is UNIX,
and zoo runs on seven other o/s flavors.

  Am I missing something?
