My apologies! Of course, I muddled it. The rules I gave under (a) and (b) should be interchanged, i.e.: (a) From the American time zones it follows that: To obtain UTC from a <date-time> with offset, one has to subtract the offset from the given time. (b) From the military time zones: If an offset is given in a <date-time>, it specifies the amount one has to add to the given time to obtain UTC. Martin
