Hi Jim, Thanks for your thoughtful response. I had grappled with DST in another project that involved press releases that were time stamp GMT. It was tricky. I like your idea of getting the seconds every day at midnight. That's clever, and I think I can incorporate that into my site.

Since you will have a functioning internet connection, the quick answer would be to ping one of the many free time servers out there. Google search and choose the one you like. Jim Ault Las Vegas On Aug 31, 2009, at 2:58 PM, Gregory Lypny wrote: Hello everyone, How can I handle daylight

I believe the servers for on-rev are in Texas so I think that is where you are getting the 4:52 from. It will be consistent with texas time so you can add or take away from that. HTHs Tom McGrath III Lazy River Software 3mcgr...@comcast.net iTunes Library Suite - libITS Information and

Just a little more detail on my previous post. Would appreciate anyone confirming that iRev does not adjust for local Daylight Savings Time or I've misunderstood something because this has the potential to really mess up my work if I get it wrong. There's a difference of one hour as this

Thank you Sarah, Jim, Stephan, and Thomas! Dang, Texas. Birthplace of Buddy Holly and Collings guitars, and a one-hour time difference from Montreal, which appeared to my deceived eyes (as so aptly pointed out by Sarah) as the lack of adjustment for DST. Can be fixed. Regards,
