This really mystifies me. I'm in the UK, which is currently in BST
(1 hour ahead of GMT). I've always used the 'get time' feature with
no problems at all, but since upgrading to MiamiDx 1.0, I find that
it always sets my clock 2 hours behind (1 hour behind GMT) the current
real time.
In Locale prefs, I always have the timezone set to GMT, as I also run
SetDST with it's SETLOCALE option which automatically adjusts the locale
settings for me on DST changes. THOR uses locale for timezone offsets,
and I know it works well with SetDST (in DST, my mails dates have +0100
added to them, and when not in DST it's +0000). It seems like MiamiDx
is doing the reverse - setting my clock one hour behind GMT instead of
one hour ahead.
