The format we use is a "classic" IBM (OS/2) format and compatible with PGP, while the other format GoldEd uses looks is in POSIX style (at least this is what I came up with when I did a Google search). Look at this message and the entire thread around it: http://groups.google.de/group/comp.os.msdos.4dos/msg/465120186bb33fcd?hl=de When I implemented the timezone feature in FreeXP, I simply used the same format Robert B�ck also used for XP2. Anyway, we should probably make FreeXP to support both formats, as the POSIX style seems to be the more current standard.
