Hi, I was playing around with the SLIME inspector and I happened to inspect a slot in a class where I'm storing a universal date. I thought it was nifty that the inspector tried to show me the date in ISO 8601 format. However, I noticed that the date was wrong. Instead of displaying time at "Zulu" as indicated by the Z at the end, it was displaying the time with respect to my current timezone. I did some digging and noticed that the Z was hard coded! Uh oh! I decided to try to "fix" this problem and make the inspector display the proper ISO 8601 time and include the correct timezone. Thanks to Nikolai Sandved's ISO 8601 page (http://www.pvv.ntnu.no/~nsaa/ISO8601.html), this was easy. I took his format-iso8601-time and included it in swank.lisp. Then, I modified the inspect-for-emacs method that takes an integer to call his format-iso8601-time function. VOILA! Proper dates.
