This operation returns the current time and the Inaccuracy given when starting this application in a UTO\&. The time base is \fI15 october 1582 00:00\fR\&\&. Comparing two time objects which use different time base is, by obvious reasons, pointless\&.

This operation creates a new UTO object representing the time parameters given\&. This is the only way to create a UTO with an arbitrary time from its components\&. This is useful when using the Timer Event Service\&.
