I'm curious. What business needs do you have that require past Daylight Savings Times and leap seconds? I wish all computers did time-date stamps in Zulu, and only translated to local time as needed. (Heck, I wish Daylight Savings Time would go away, and wouldn't be adverse if local time would go away. China is on one time zone and it doesn't hurt them). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
