Hey Benny!

Huh?  I am still seeing glib as a REQUIRED dependency for mc.  What source are they using?

 BP> it is mostly 0000 for utc adjust, its not know always if its
 BP> timezone or adjust to utc

  TZ=UTC date +%z | tr -d +
  0000

is probably what he is looking for.  That is the defective castrated fidonet version.  Myself I am using;

  TZ=UTC+00:01:00 date +%z | tr -d +
  -0001

which is 1 minute west of prime meridian and doesn't suffer from the lossy '+' character fidonet crap.  UTC offsets (%z) only output hh:mm whereas the TZ above is capable of hh:mm:ss which make it vastly more powerful than a castrated utc offset ... to say the least.  Offhand I'm thinking about using it as part of a coordinate system for a "Fidonet Time Space Continuum" now that the FTSC has become defunct.  Why waste a perfectly good echoarea?  I think it could be recycled.  :-)

Life is good,
Maurice
