The list is right. BST is not a time zone, it is a mode of time. You said it yourself, it's GMT+1 for the duration of the year that summer time is in effect. This needs to be handled separately. When I set my time zone in windows or OS X, I choose "Pacific (GMT -8:00)" and there is *ONE* pacific time zone. THen, there's a checkbox for "automatically adjust daylight savings time." This does NOT affect the actual time zone, even though we here also have the term "Pacific Daylight Savings Time" Bottom line is the list is not wrong. _______________________________________________ Bug-gnustep mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gnustep
