2. If I have to store the time zone from the user's input, are the
DST calculations reasonably straightforward these days?
It's not too difficult and you get a nice refresher in modulo-7 arithmetic.
I did it in AVR assembler recently although I didn't try to make it

O Time Nuts,
I am working feverishly on the software for my new scope clock. This
is a circuit board that drives a 3 oscilloscope tube with a rather
good-looking display of numbers and letters, driven by an HC908 MPU
and a hardware circle-drawing engine. The basic gizmo is shown here:

1 Is there a reasonable way to determine the local time zone from the
GPS sentences?
None that I know of.
But given that you have GPS you probably know where you are. If you had a
map of the globe with the time zone boundaries drawn on it, you should be
able to figure out which zone you
