The challenge I am seeing so far, is "it depends upon whose tosser you use",
and what does your uplink use...
Example (have not shared with the author yet), but, I realized the tosser I am
using is putting ^ATZUTC: -0200 is being stored using JAMSFLD_FTSKLUDGE instead
of JAMSFLD_TZUTCINFO as I would assume it should.
I especially like #5 - I hate the colors wikipedia uses, but, having the
feature charts are very useful.
