However, FAT is a stupid file system that actually writes the current time to its structures - if we want to be compatible with other systems (and we definitely want to IMO), we must do that, too. That's something to fix in the other file systems as well, though: they should always store their times in UTC/GMT. So we definitely need that kind of information in the kernel as well - a new dedicated function to return the current offset to GMT should do, though. Bye, Axel.
