Hello Nicholas,

On Wednesday March 19 2014 17:42, you wrote to me:

 MV>> - 17:09 [6064] TIME Wed, 19 Mar 2014 16:09:05 +0100

 MV>> The "17:09" is my local time. Which is CET or UTC+0100

Indeed, that is my local system time. Which BTW is UTC+0100. (CET)

No. The second time is in the same time zone as mine. UTC+0100. (indicated by the 0100 after the 16:09:05. If he is in the same time zone as I, his local time mist be the same as mine. So the 16:09:05 is NOT his local time.

No, ther confusion arises because Argus does not follow the convention of using local time, it displays UTC instead.

It defintely is an anomaly.
