So a file that was created with a timezone setting of EST, then the user 
sets the timezone to PST, wouldn't the file have a timestamp 3 hours in 
the future, or would the timestamp change to reflect the timezone?  Is 
the TRUE timestamp something different, and what ls et al show us is 
the REAL timestamp filtered through a timezone adjustment?
