But, I could be wrong though. BBBS seems to get the time right ok in Pacific Standard Time. It's when we spring ahead it doesn't change to Pacific Daylight Time. The computers clock does change but the TZUTC: kludge doesn't. I have found here that setting the TZ and TZUTC environments is needed, at least in PDT. In my case I set TZ=PDT+7 and TZUTC=-0700 and now my TZUTC kludge is correct. --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Toy-4 * Origin: The Rusty MailBox - Penticton, BC Canada (1:153/757) SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/2 57/0 103/705 153/250 154/10 203/0 220/70 221/0 SEEN-BY: 226/17 100 229/354 426 452 1014 240/5832 249/206 317 267/800 SEEN-BY: 280/464 5003 292/854 317/2 3 322/757 342/200 393/68 396/45 SEEN-BY: 423/120 712/848 770/0 1 10 100 330 340 772/0 1 500 2452/250 PATH: 153/757 250 770/1 280/464 229/426 |
