Details:
I'm a new user of Octave, but a long time user of Matlab. For the first time
ever, I have need of time handling capabilities. I immediately ran into this
very apparent problem. Start Octave, and type in the following:
now
now %Do it again, just to see that the result is consistent
days = datenum(datestr(now))
now % Result changes to a different time zone!
Here is what I got:
>> now
ans = 737461.66489
>> now
ans = 737461.66493
>> days = datenum(datestr(now))
days = 737461.66510
>> now
ans = 737461.95683
What happened there at the end is that the local time used by Octave changed
from my correct local time to GMT time!
