Hey Johan!

Okay I played with the POSIX module and found this gem,

    strftime "%H %M", gmtime;

which produces the hour and minute of UTC wrt localtime.  If localtime is UTC 
then it produces the exact same hour as,

    strftime "%H %M", localtime;

but if localtime is anything else, such as PST which is what the machine I 
tested this on is set to, then gmtime adjusts the hour (and whatever other 
variable that requires adjustment) to UTC.  Works excellent!  I like it!

Yeppers, the POSIX module is a handy, dandy tool to have onboard.  I think it's 
a keeper.

Life is good,
Maurice
