The most common situation I know of where you store the time with its original TZ is when dealing with recurring times (opening/closing items, appointments), as you need to follow the original DST/summertime the user was in. Which

A whole byte for a year? What a waste in 1995 when you've got just 640KB for DOS, your code and your data. I looked up my old code. Shave off a bit of the year and: struct Date { unsigned day : 5; unsigned month : 4
