Please remember that the US media is hysteria oriented and loves to feed fear to the "common man" (i.e. morons). The biggest problem that I had was this morning. I hate getting up before the sun rises. I am a diurnal animal, damn it! Oh, and the LE maintenance that I put in actually worked! The "date" command in UNIX gave the correct result for my timezone value (CST6CDT). I hope my z9 stuff works too. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
