If we want to (mechanically) compare timestamps we have to parse them anyway. Parsing the timezone along is not even extra work, as other posters here have indicated. The main use for the timestamps for me is to know when I did the last change, and there knowing the local time helps greatly. What about supporting a variable DEBCHANGE_TZ in ~/.devscripts that lets the user set UTC, but defaults to $TZ? Christoph -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.df7cb.de/
