I have opened bugs twice about DST starting or ending on the wrong times. they keep using old TZ files while the ones on HUJI get updated, I had to send them there to get a current version. it's still much better than the Windows situation. I worked in a few places that moved their time manually on the servers and stations since microsoft stopped supporting auto-DST in Israel. it drove them nuts when my linux sent "the wrong hours" on Email since they remained at UTC+2 and I was correctly at UTC+3. I would usually tell them to switch to Baghdad time to have the correct shift because at the time I didn't know how to edit the TZ definitions (it's hidden in MSDN somewhere), but it didn't solve all the calendar entries moving around. I prefer having to compile a little file once a year than have to mess with THAT... -- The colonel's secret recipe Ira Abramov http://ira.abramov.org/email/ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
