What range of localities? Will it convert only the present time, or also archival times? E.g. 6 months ago, or the U.S. prior to 2006.

My microwave oven and my clock radio don't support 24-hour. My bicycle computer is peculiar: it offers either km/24-hour or mi/12-hour, but not the other two quadrants. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
