[Gambas-user] Best way converting dates into strings forth and back

No.
Consider this. If I store date 10.12.2021 22:27 in UTC right now (winter),
I will get: 12/10/2021 20:27 UTC.
If I store *the same* date in UTC in *summer*, I will get: 12/10/2021 19:27
UTC.

So, if I look at this date in local time in summer or in winter I will see
two different times.

The second case.
If I assume all dates are always local time. Then everything is again
ruined if the program is running during the timezone change.
