How about now/gnt? Since people discussed time functions earlier, here is something else to add to your REBOL toolbox. Any SWLs or HAM radio operators out there know about GMT/UTC. The Greenwich observatory, in England, and the Canadian Time Zone system made world time possible, long ago. Now, GMT meets the net (yes, other time systems already exist, but they are not Greenwich): RINGING IN THE NEW YEAR WITH GREENWICH NET TIME January 1 marks the debut of a new time standard that supporters hope will become the online equivalent of the venerable Greenwich Mean Time. Greenwich Net Time will offer ISPs and Internet users a new way to time-stamp electronic documents. Companies involved in the deployment of GNT clocks include the London Internet Exchange (LINX), a nonprofit group of ISPs that share data centers in order to speed Internet traffic within the U.K.; Datum, which is supplying three atomic clocks that will deliver GNT from Greenwich's zero meridian line; and Enron Communications, an energy and communications firm. LINX members who will support GNT include AT&T, BT Internet Services, France Telecom and Level 3.
