[Gambas-user] Different quantities of seconds from UNIX date...

Sat Apr 7 15:45:46 CEST 2018

I really think the time zone should be optional argument for these
functions. I have constant troubles to understand how and what time
functions should be used. Really really unintuitive.
In my GAlarm project, when I finally got everything working, I noticed that
the "daylight saving time" fucks up all the alarm times by hour. No idea
how to fix.
