   It's not good to give a time when the offset from GMT is not known;   
   and it's good to not use a date format which is ambiguous for   
   132 days per year.

   FIND does serve; and I see a probable way of not needing it.

   It does work there, and is now $RHUBARB.BAT

   That makes it not well-suited to what the OP seems to want.   
      
      
   The FIND is no longer needed; the temporary file $RHUBARB.BAT is longer.
