Would anybody happen to know how to get the current

1970 00:00:00 GMT"? Other than by adjusting a current
timestamp to GMT, constructing one for January 1,
1970 00:00:00, and doing an RPG SUBDUR? Or is that
actually the easiest way?

I think that is the easiest way. At least, I find it comes to mind
easily, is pretty easy to write, and is pretty easy to understand (by
someone reading it later, including myself)... what else do you need?
;)

I am not ruling out the existence of a better way, but in my opinion
the way you've described is Plenty Good Enough.
