Timestamps -- finally figured it out

After further investigation, the timestamps (time_t values) in CT
version 8 .bin files (including those created with the 7to8.EXE
conversion program), always seem to be exactly 7 hours ahead of GMT,
so if you just subtract 25200 seconds (7*60*60) from the time_t value
you will get the correct Zulu time.  Using localtime() to do the
conversion can work with some compilers, but you have to keep
the compiler from making Daylight Savings Time adjustments.

Sorry for all the confusion.
