Definitely

Right.
Then we can use the variables Date and Time from the Prime (Vars catalog, or to write them with the first uppercase), so:
Code:
86400*(DDAYS(1970.0101,Date))+3600*HMS➝(Time)
is the same as
Code:
86400*(julianday(listnow)-2440587.5)
That's epoch(), right?
However the result returned is about +3600 secs from the result of Bill's EPOCH calculated for UTC+1 (3600 in 00)...
Subtracting 3600 we get the Epoc for GMT.

or maybe simply the difference in the execution time between HP41CX (a bit more slow) and the Prime...
