Hello Benoit, ML, Jussi, dear brothers in Gambas :-)
Thank you very much for the benevolent attention you dedicate to me.
It seems that on the dates, among the disciples of Benoit, constant
confusion reigns.
I think we can summarize that the best thing to do is to create time
calculations in UTC and then localize with Format what is shown to the user.
This should also work for Jussi's calculations, or not?

Regards
Gianluigi
