My lucky moon rock tells me it is 12:50 p.m. in Jolly 'ol England,
yet when I check today's GMT Julian date, I get the following:
print, systime(/julian)
2451373.7
The "error" in the decimal point seems to amount to about 5 hours.
If memory serves me, this "error" is explainable by RSI, but the
explanation escapes me.
Can anyone help?
