What are you talking about Ged? Last I checked we only have 1 core
developer in the US at the moment. Most are in timezones GMT-3 to GMT+1.

That would be fine if we were talking about an application running under
DOS. Doesn't work like this for DOSEMU.
I've just checked this with DOSEMU-1.0.1 and DOSEMU-1.0.2.1, and with my
TZ set for EST I can't get this problem to occur. (But then, since my
native TZ *is* GMT ....)
