When using "t-U" to convert unix time, the following error is received: Unrecognized time zone name: error I changed the time zone (Gentoo GNU/Linux) by copying the posix GMT+10 zoneinfo file over /etc/localtime. This seemed to make a difference the first time---my timezone name is a little obscure, or so I reasoned: "ChST" (I am on Saipan, N. Mariana Islands). Also, I am uncertain how to use this command to convert FROM unix time to something else. Probably the time zone error is peripheral to my main problem, which is just being able to convert a vector of a few thousand items by grabbing them from a file into calc. Thank you for any suggestions. I am still reading the Fine Manual. Alan Davis
