A common failing, self included......It's the goodwill that counts.

OMG I never even thought of that..... (Does UTC = GMT?) I was born sometime
in the morning hours of May 23, in the Central Time Zone. So technically my
assumption 0000 (CST) 23 May 1934 = Cindu 0000 1/1/702 (IIRC) was based on
that.  (And of course Yanatros, where Kash is spoken, is just W of their
International Date Line 180W, so it's already 10 Cindu hours ahead of
standard time at their Prime Meridian.)  Now I'm working in the US Eastern
Time Zone (Daylight Saving in fact).  I think it may be one of those things
that it's too late to change, and at this point we just have to press on
regardless, whatever that will entail. :-)))

What would the difference be? CST is 1 hr. behind EST, which is GMT -5 IIRC,
so 6 hours. Hmm, back to the calculator...........

I get confused enough listening to the BBC on my clock radio as I'm going to
bed at 1AM or so EST. Just in time to catch their 6AM (5AM during EDT)
newscast.
