In fact, Linux and (in this example) Cygwin handle this splendidly:

506 $ TZ=UTC0         ls -lrt --full-time
total 0
-rwxrwx---+ 1 User None 0 2011-12-30 09:59:00.000000000 +0000 Before
-rwxrwx---+ 1 User None 0 2011-12-30 10:01:00.000000000 +0000 After

(... 2 minutes apart.)

507 $ TZ=Pacific/Apia ls -lrt --full-time
total 0
-rwxrwx---+ 1 User None 0 2011-12-29 23:59:00.000000000 -1000 Before
-rwxrwx---+ 1 User None 0 2011-12-31 00:01:00.000000000 +1400 After

(... local times correct, AFAIK.)

z/OS not nearly so well.  z/OS designers simply have a severe case of NIH.
But Peter Relson says STCKCONV does what it's supposed to do, and couldn't
do it any better.
