I didn't see that this bug request / enhancement was ever entered so here it
is.
Please add a UTC view to Windows OS wireshark builds. And for that matter on
all builds ... it's a cool feature if you look at a lot of capture.

Great tool ... thanks :)

Would you mind opening a bug report at http://bugs.wireshark.org 
requesting this (and mark it as an enhancement request) so we don't 
forget it?

My initial thoughts are that the option could be placed in the View - 
Time Display Format menu, either at the top with a separator bar below 
it saying Local Time or UTC Time.  Or add two more Date and Time of Day 
and Time of Day options with (UTC) at the end.  What does everyone think?
