As for the "New UTC (128 bit) format": that's probably documented

uses an opaque 128-bit structure that may be the basis for this, but a
quick search hasn't turned up a revised DAP spec. DTSS time includes
precision/accuracy, not just time.
Is that the format as returned by RSX GTIM$, i.e. 8 words which are in
sequence year since 1900, month, day, hour, minute, second, tick of
second, ticks per second? If I'm guessing, "New UTC (128 bit) format"
would be this and be expressed in UTC instead of some unspecified
timezone.
Nope. The RSX format actually stores 8 16-bit words, which are (in order):

Doh. Sorry for the stupid reply. You obviously knew the format.
Anyway, the "New UTC (128 bit) format" does not sound like anything
RSX-like at all. I would assume it's a binary format expressing an
offset from some epoch. I can't see VMS or DAP ever going back to
something like the RSX time format.
