But ordinary users won't care that time stamps in Aruba on February 12, 1912 from 04:35:47 to 04:40:24 UTC will have a UTC offset that differs by a few minutes. They just won't. I request caution in making it clear to ordinary users that the name UTC cannot be proleptically extended to dates prior to 1960. No such concept existed in contemporary records.
Being pedantic :) 1963 ... But none of the sources actually quote the date for Recommendation 374 :( -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk
