"""
Takes a SierraChart scid file (input argument 1) and converts
it to a comma separated file (comma)

Timezone conversion can follow the users local timezone, or a
specified integer (input l or an integer but if the default
filename is being used, '' must be specified for the filename)

Inputs: filename & tz adjust (else UTC).
if the filename is 'all' then all scids in directory are converted
