The same as any other product, much like the heater/air conditioner on my house that I replaced because parts were no longer available. What is this obsession with automatic download some people seem to have? There have been hundreds and hundreds of patches to each and every OS I run since the last patch to any time zone information. Having one more patch for time zones out of hundreds of others is insignificant. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
