It seems that, on Windows at least, ntpq -crv gives results in local

and not in UTC. Is that intended? Is there a switch for results in
UTC?
Yes, it's intentional. There is no built-in switch to use UTC but you
can do it on most systems by setting/changing the TZ environment
variable. On Windows:
set TZ=GMT0 & ntpq -crv & set TZ=
on Unix:
env TZ=GMT0 ntpq -crv
Of course, neither is necessary if your local timezone is UTC to begin
with. I use UTC on my Windows systems because Windows misrepresents
historical and future timestamps which are in the other half of the
year, in DST terms.

Thanks, Dave. That's a pity, as I don't like the work-rounds.
I know what you mean about file timestamps being different, although I
wouldn't use the word "misrepresent".
Cheers,
David
