Alright, so then it would seem that the best solution would be to add an
integer input to the format date time string function to specify offset
from UTC... and to get UTC time you would wire a zero to this. To maintain
backward compatibility, I still think the function should default to its
current behavior if that terminal is unwired. This seems like a fairly
trivial feature to implement since all the code for it should already
exist... it would just need to be rearranged a little. And the consensus
here on info-labview does seem to be a demand for such a feature.

If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down?
We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason. --Jack Handy
