If the RTC is set to UTC, and MiNT is running, and my MiNT-system is properly
configured, then when I save a file and my watch says 14:54, the file will get
the stamp 14:54.

When I reboot into TOS, the RTC is still set to UTC, but TOS doesn't know
about my localtime-difference, and therefor, when I write the file, the
time will say 11:55 (takes a minute to reboot, right? :)).

When I start MiNT again, the time on the last file will still be 11:55, right?
