Added time-system attribute "Time Zone Correction (Minutes)" which may
be used to adjust calendar times for the local time zone. The idea is that the internal calendar times/offsets are set in UTC then this variable can be used to shift the displayed (and entered) times from UTC to the local timezone.
The value can be changed during a run, upon the next redraw all table and
item calendar times will be displayed with the new offset. NOTE: The internal value does NOT change, its an offset applied at the TimeToString and StringToTime level.
Example Values: +570 (Adelaide Time), +630 (Adelaide Daylight Time)
NOTE: If importing data or reading TCP/IP tuples with formatted times, then the current TimeZone will be applied in converting the times to seconds from the current time reference that the model stores internally.
As well as being a system attribute the timezone can be specified manually in the Display->Time Field Format time dialog or Run Start Date dialoge.
