Hey Wilfred!

 WvV> Of course, and I think I called you Don Quichot before. ;)

I've been called worse.  Anyhow it doesn't change the fact that I am right
about dropping the '+' character, as well as the obsolete datetime stamp.  I
could also note that some people are still getting the CHRS wrong according to
fidonet specs but like the TZUTC flag it appears to be a flag that doesn't
really do anything.  Just like the FTSC.  ;-)

 WvV> It will do for that, as long as it displays the real timezone
 WvV> of the user, and not 0000 when he's not in the UK.

Or South Africa.  They aren't in the UK and +0000 is just as real to them.
Beats me if any of them use the TZUTC flag but I am guessing not.  Mind you I
already am guessing that NOBODY is using it.  I logged into an online BBS and
noted that it doesn't adjust for TZUTC.  Probably just as well all things
considered.

Life is good,
Maurice
