When I was in IS at NYNEX, we would get Automatic Message Accounting tapes from the various central offices every day. And twice a year, we would have to correct the times on at least one tape that came from a CO where the tech has forgotten to reset the clock to or from DST. I don't know why they didn't use Zulu time. Bill _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@blu.org http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
