I personally like your proposal to always assume UTC+0000 when dealing with dates. We can then add some ways for users to set actual TZ, using a Set( _SET_TZ ) function, which would influence the dates on read and write. Plus we can add some functions to make it easy to shift timestamps by a passed TZ. Brgds, Viktor
