Tom, Brent-
Thanks for the thoughtful responses. I now understand why it didn't work and

That's a good point. Fortunately, in this specific application the events
are selected by location as a part of the same operation, so I *think* I'll
be OK- However, there are some other application functions I'm contemplating
for the future which would really get mangled if I lost my TZ information.
