Subj : if it ain't broke ...

Hey Benny!

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

BP> it is mostly 0000 for utc adjust, its not know always if its
BP> timezone or adjust to utc

TZ=UTC date +%z | tr -d +
0000

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,
Maurice
