 Gents,
 
 With CVS as of 1200 EST, 2/13/2002, --time-offset does not work properly
 when used in conjunction with --start-date-whatever.  For example:
 
 --start-date-gmt=2002:02:12:17:00:00
 --time-offset=+01:15:00
 
 ...starts up at 1/1/1970 1:15:00.

As best as I can tell, these two options are incompatible.  Each
write's the specified value into /sim/startup/time-offset.  There is
a bug though because --start-date-gmt sets
/sim/startup/time-offset-type to gmt, while --time-offset doesn't
reset this back to system-offset which is the default.

So, I will assert that this could have never worked as you had hoped,
and perhaps before you were specifying the arguments differently or
hadn't noticed that it wasn't working.

Someone should probably take a look at the initial time specification
code after 0.7.9 and clean a few things up.

Regards,

Curt.

Curt,
If the --time-offset option is incompatible with the other time options,
we need to change options.cxx and the fgfs.1 man page to remove the can
be used in combination with other time options lines describing
--time-offset.  Thanks
