It's a sad comment on the behavior of some people on this listserv that
John felt it necessary to state that he knows GMT and UTC are not the
same thing.

The SMF timestamps in SMF records, such as reader start date& time, where the
date is PL4'0cyydddF' and the time is a fullword binary number of 1/100ths of a
second past midnight. But what is confounding me is that this seems to be the LOCAL
time, not GMT/UTC (yes, I know GMT != UTC). The problem that I am having is that I
really want to convert this to GMT/UTC and then format it to RFC3339 encoding
(yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss.thZ). I just don't see a way to arbitrarily do this. I have
always assumed that the timestamp is basically the local time as you might see from
a D T comand. That is, being in the US Central Timezone, when we go to Daylight
Saving time (from TIMEZONE=W.06 to TIMEZONE=W.05) at 02:00, the time range from
02:00-02:59 repeats. Is this correct? If so, I don't know if 02:10, for example. is
local time for 08:10 or 07:10 GMT.
Do I just "give up"? Or am I missing something simple?
