Not sure where that comment (and the question) comes from, since France is
one of the originator of the standard...
As far back as I can recall (admittedly maybe not THAT far, and the older I
get, the less far that is...), UTC has been the time standard in France.

UTC? France? Of course they do accept it! see :

More seriously:
We do use in Europe, including France, CET ¡

Hi Poul:
I've more than once misread a clock display of the type 12:34:05.
I've noticed that military clocks show 1234:05 and there's no mistaking the
time. Seems like a more foolproof display format.
Have Fun,

Arnold,
I therefore cannot see any problem is with France,
but we have the need to define more precise and stable
reference time from where we can then measure and add
the Earth and Solar instabilities for our daily used standard
watches, in order to be enabled still to continue living

No. It just fails to make the distinction that I am asking for...
Stockholm, Sweden is UTC+1h as normal time and UTC+2h as summer time,
not GMT+1h and GMT+2h as indicated in the
UTC is the accepted international standard, but GMT appears to be
steadfastly held onto by the UK (especially Government departments). I
believe that GMT is actually by definition UTC_NPL, i.e. NPL contributes to
UTC, but will have a small local offset as will all contributors.
Feel free to
Magnus, at least as of 2000, GMT was still the legal time in the UK,
though it doesn't have a technically accurate definition any more. A
bill in 1997 attempted to change UK time to UTC, but it died in Parliament.
There's some discussion of this at pages 93-94 of a book that was

Hello,
The French Legal Time Reference is defined since a 1978 decree by the
UTC(OP) realisation of UTC, as stated here:

interestlingly the discussion about GMT seem to be a never ending
story, all over the world. As I know GMT was already renamed in

First of all, thanks to the developers of this great program.
Second, is there a limit on the length of time that can be retained in memory
for the displayed graph? I set the interval on 2 separate units to 1 second
and ran them for a few days. Both computers only retained the latest day or so
The /q= command-line argument lets you expand the plot queue size. Looks
like the default is 86400 entries for one day's worth of data taken at
one-second intervals.
Mark -- at one time it apparently was set to 3 days in the Windows version,
but not now? Do you remember why it was backed down
The default is one day of data. The /Q command with no parameters gives 3
days. Otherwise you can use /Q=#seconds (up to one year). The /Q command
assumes a one second plot interval. Using the /I command to increase the plot
interval would increase the time accordingly.
I suppose it was to to keep the electrolyt to slam around ;-}

Thanks John, yes I'm real.
The 1978 date is correct, I'm looking for the article to quote. Prior to the
decree, France maintained a roughly twelve and a half minute offset. I always
was struck by this as the BIPM is located in France, and has been for many
years. Disagreement on the location
