Time Zones
By Bob Taylor

Robbie,  Again the engineers' nightmare of pluses and minuses haunts us
in the week before Halloween.  Your note about time zones contains the
error.  PDT = GMT - 7.  With all due respect, and fully noting your
"yawn", I am sure others will have fun with this, too.

Bob Taylor

 [ Yeah, I know what you mean, Bob (+/-).  You live in Missouri and,
 [ in the date line of your message above, the time is given as
 [ "10:35:05 -0500", so I equate that with Central Daylight Time (CDT),
 [ or "CDT = GMT - 0500".  At 5 AM in the UK it's midnight in Missouri,
 [ so GMT = CDT + 0500".  Isn't that right?  (And then there's the song,
 [ "Midnight in Moscow"  ;)   -- Robbie
