> When I try to plot these times on a map using rhour(or Foreast Date), the 
> date comes up in EDT instead of GMT. Why is this? I cannot find any way to 
> change it, and it seems some conversion is done even though I have my default 
> time settings to GMT under IDV preferences and the file is also in GMT.
