Defintely, yes! I now use that TimeZone object.

Thanks a lot.

During my "lunch" time, I've made a new version, which is on the website.
Hopefully this will get rid of the date problem.
I haven't had time to test this version on windows, I don't have a windows machine here...

I'd appreciate comments on whether the new version does get rid of the date problem - it does here

Not being a Java guru, I have no idea if it works! However, I'd also
wonder what happens when the time is coming in from NTP and there's a
setting to "adjust for daylight savings time" - which I can't remember
if Windows has.

Linux doesn't. At least, not in KDE anyway, I have my systems running
with the NTP server setting the clock, and all seems well at present.



IIRC, Java gets the system time from the OS, so it shouldn't matter how the time is set by the OS (I use ntp, too ).

If you download any of the versions you can read the anwser to your questions in Timothy Swenson's great userguide, inside the zip file....

Is the Menu Extension SCRAP <-> (your OS) clipboard exchange a generally asked-for feature?

I'm really rusty on using the menu extension things, but next weekend, I could have a look at that.

I have used the same menu extensions as I have always used (I just use my old QPC boot on my normal qxl.win file) - I wasn't even aware there is a special QPC version (what's different?).
