Subj : slightly different format To : Wilfred Van Velzen From : Maurice Kinal Date : Fri Nov 13 2020 22:10:24 Hey Wilfred! WvV> But that's not the TZUTC flag. It is still in there although it would be easier to do something like this to generate a proper one rather than extract it from RFC-3339; printf "\1TZUTC: %s\r" "$(date +%z | tr -d +)" It even has the proper C0 control codes in it as per specs. Life is good, Maurice .... Man byþ on myrgþe his magan leof; sceal þeah anra gehwylc oðrum swican. Man in joy is dear to his kin; but they will have to part. --- GNU bash, version 5.0.18(1)-release (x86_64-motorshed-linux-gnu) * Origin: Little Mikey's Brain - Ladysmith BC, Canada (1:153/7001) .
