It's probably because development is done in California and they sometimes
forget over there that GMT starts over here...

I had the same trouble when I upgraded a C compiler once, the library sources
were the problem.  It's just a matter of putting something like this extract

#undef TIMEOFFSET                 // DOS date - Unix date, but surprise!
#define TIMEZONEOFFSET 25200L     // Zortech got it wrong: see also LOCALTIME
#define TIMEOFFSET ((long)(315532800L+TIMEZONEOFFSET))

in a header file somewhere, and recompiling.

Any questions, multiply 7 hours by 3600 and then (10*365+2)*24*3600.

:)

73,
Ged.
