Consider this (Scsh 0.6.3 and 0.6.2, don't know about earlier
versions):
> (format-date "~Y-~m-~d ~H:~M:~S ~Z" (date (time)))
"2003-01-28 12:47:27 MET"
> (format-date "~Y-~m-~d ~H:~M:~S ~Z" (date (time) "UTC"))
"2003-01-28 11:47:34 UTC"
> (format-date "~Y-~m-~d ~H:~M:~S ~Z" (date (time) 0))
"2003-01-28 11:47:39 MET"
^^^
According to the manual (date (time) "UTC") and (date (time) 0)
should do the same, which is /not quite/ the case: apparently
the timezone name information is not set up properly in the
latter case. The same is true for other numeric values <> 0.
>From what the manual says, one would expect a tz-name of the form
"UTC+nn:nn:nn" in the latter case.
