In order to make it easier for nodelist clerks to synchronise their efforts across time zones, I suggest the following;


UseUTC (0/1) (default 0)


This instructs MakeNl to use UTC instead of local time to determine the day of the week and other time related issues.

E.G. When it is Thursday 21:00 local time and it is Friday 01:00 UTC, Makenl will act as if is is run on Friday and use the day number corresponding to Friday.


In some cases, it may be necessary to override the OS's and/or compiler's time functions. So I suggest the following option:


UseTZUTC (0/1) (default 0)

Use the TZUTC environment variable to derive UTC from local time, instead of using the value supplied by the OS and/or the compiler's library functions.

Michiel,

In order to make it easier for nodelist clerks to synchronise their
efforts across time zones, I suggest the following;

Really?

I don't see how this (old) proposal is going to change anything. I also don't understand what needs to be synchronized at all. There will always be a 7hr delay for Z1-data in Z2, plus every ZC to my knowledge uses the latest zone-segments available ... there's no way on improving on that.
