Re: [Bug-apl] )SAVE should show WSID

[Peter Teeson]

I think you are correct Blake. 

IIRC @ IPSA we used UTC internally for things saved to HD. 

But displayed local time on the Terminal which was an IBM 2741 with an APL golf ball.

(FWIW We also had a really really precise external clock custom built for us which we used for date/time things rather than the System 360 clock.)

Greetings,

Perhaps the time they are showing is local and the "(GMT-4)" is showing its relationship to GMT.

Hi,

GNU APL is following the IBM APL2 language reference manual as much as possible (so that we can
use it as GNU APL reference and need no write our own one).

It says:

"For example:
      )WSID
THISWS
      )SAVE
1992-03-27 21 .51.09 (GMT-4) THISWS

Note: The system response includes the workspace name when it is omitted from
the )SAVE command."

The only difference I can see right now is that the workspace ID is not shown if omitted in the )SAVE command.
I will fix that. The rest (GMT offset etc) should remain as is (it would also break my testcases to change it).
