Re: DST2007
You're welcome. I missed another quible too though... The GMT part doesn't make sense. Should be: TZ=CST6CDT,M3.2.0,M11.1.0 Michael Wickman wrote: Thanks for the correction.

Re: DST2007
That's because I'm currently using TZ=GMT6CDT. Nobody has noticed the stamp is GMT instead of CST. Good time to make this right. [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/10/2006 12:02:57 PM You're welcome.

Don't forget in mixed OS environment all those puppies need to line up. JAVA: Some countries are still evaluating whether they will adopt the new rules for themselves. You should anticipate more changes in DST and time zone rules for countries that typically align with U.S. DST rules. Problems Affecting Java Applications The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) stores rules about DST observance all around the globe. Older JREs will have outdated rules that will be superseded by the Energy Policy Act of 2005. As a result, applications running on an older JRE may report incorrect time from March 11, 2007 through April 2, 2007 and from October 29, 2007 through November 4, 2007. Solutions for Java Applications If you are concerned about application failures that may result from these DST changes, you should update your Java Runtime Environment. The following Java platform versions have correct time rules to handle the DST changes that will affect U.S. time zones in 2007. You can download any of the following Java platform versions to resolve this DST issue: * _JDK 6 Project (beta)_ (https://jdk6.dev.java.net/) * _J2SE 5.0 Update 6_ (http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp) or later * _J2SE 1.4.2_11_ (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html) or later * _J2SE 1.3.1_18 or later_ (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/download.html) Platform Considerations The required Java SE changes for U.S. DST are different from those required at the operating system (OS) platform level (i.e., Solaris, Linux, Microsoft, etc). Detailed descriptions of OS changes are beyond the scope of this document. You should contact your OS vendor for updates or corrections for this issue. The Sun Alert referenced later in this document provides details for Sun Solaris corrective patches. For More Information Find out more about DST and time zones rule changes from these other resources: * Sun Alert Notification: _Daylight Saving Time (DST) Changes for Australia (2006), United States (2007), and Others_ (http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-26-102178-1) * _About Daylight Saving Time_ (http://www.timeanddate.com/time/aboutdst.html) * _When Does Daylight Time Begin and End_ (http://aa.usno.navy.mil/faq/docs/daylight_time.html) * _Daylight Saving Time from Wikipedia_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time) * _Saving Time, Saving Energy_ (http://www.energy.ca.gov/daylightsaving.html) * _Australian Time Zone Changes Affect Java Applications_ (http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Intl/AusTimeZone/) Windows: Preparing for daylight saving time changes in 2007 Published: June 16, 2006 | Updated: November 6, 2006 Starting in the spring of 2007, daylight saving time (DST) start and end dates for the United States will transition to comply with the Energy Policy Act of 2005. DST dates in the United States will start three weeks earlier (2:00 A.M. on the second Sunday in March) and will end one week later (2:00 A.M. on the first Sunday in November). Microsoft will be producing an update for Microsoft products affected by the new United States daylight saving time transition dates. These updates will be released through a combination of channels including Microsoft Customer Support Services (CSS), hotfixes incorporated in Knowledge Base articles, Windows Update, Microsoft Update, Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), and the Microsoft Download Center. Supporting the DST changes on Windows operating systems For _Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2)_ (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/sp2/default.mspx) , _Windows Server 2003_ (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/default.mspx) , and _Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1)_ (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/downloads/winsrvr/servicepacks/sp1/default.mspx) , Microsoft will release a single global time zone update which will include changes for the United States DST change. This time zone update will also include changes for other related DST changes and time zone behavior and settings that will take place in 2007 or have taken place since these versions of Windows were originally released. It will include some changes that have previously been released as individual hotfixes (such as the Sri Lanka change in time zone offset) or have been individually documented in prior Knowledge Base articles. These updated time zone definitions will also ship with _Windows Vista_ (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/) . Windows Vista will have these changes included in the release-to-market version of
