 Can anyone give me a list of which USA States (or part-States), do NOT use
 Daylight-Saving Time - e.g. Arizona doesn't, but which others also don't ?
 
 Similarly, can anyone tell me what parts of Australia do NOT use Daylight-
 Saving Time - I think Queensland doesn't, but are there some more States ?

Michigan, Arizona, and Hawaii do not use DST in any part of the
state.  Parts of Indiana do not use DST.  I am not sure this is a
complete list.

 I suggest that only members of the list who are affected vote on this.  If
 you are like me and get your e-mail at work over a direct Internet
 connection, you shouldn't care about attachments.

Of course I am affected by this decision.  It matters a great deal to
me that the data comes in a single packet when feasible instead of my
having to search for it and save it in some coordinated fashion.

Hi Douglas:

Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, the Eastern
Time Zone part of Indiana, and most of Arizona except for the Navajo Indian
Reservation, do not observe Daylight Saving Time.

There are two very interesting and entertaining websites which deal with
DST.  I'm sure that you will find out everything you ever wanted to know
about the subject, including info about Australia.  In the 2ond. site, if
you want a laugh, check out the link to Traveling woes in Indiana.  There
is even a link to a site for signing an anti-DST petition! (Which I eagerly
signed).

Most of Indiana does not use DST.  The Northwestern portion of the state,
near Gary, does use DST - to stay in sync with Chicago, I presume.  Having
spent many years without DST, I never have seen its necessity.

Greetings All

The island of Guam (a US territory) does not use daylight savings time.
Since our sunrise/sunset times vary only a little over an hour from 6:00,
it wouldn't do us much good.

Dear Douglas,

Similarly, can anyone tell me what parts of Australia do NOT use Daylight-
Saving Time - I think Queensland doesn't, but are there some more States ?

In addition to Queensland, the Northern Territory and Western
Australia also believe that daylight savings has detrimental effects on
curtains, and confuses the cows...

Thanks on the QuickBASIC request

1999-09-21 Thread Robert Terwilliger

Dear Friends,

My thanks to everyone who responded to my request for the QuickBASIC
installation disks. I still had the essential files, but there are some
libraries and other incidentals that were missing. What I still need are
the actual installation disks. (Qbasic and QuickBASIC are different
programs.)

This is not a good swashbuckling request as described. I paid good money
for the program back when a dollar was worth something, and I would have
bought it again if Uncle Bill hadn't discontinued it to make more money by
promoting the Visual Basic for DOS kludge.

FWIW, Fred Sawyer and I wrote The Dialist's Companion in QuickBASIC.

A Word of Caution

1999-09-21 Thread Tony Moss

Fellow Shadow Watchers,
   Let us not forget why this debate began in the 
first place - to avoid long and expensive downloads for those afflicted 
with high local call charges.  It would be self-defeating if we regard 
this new 'freedom to attach' small graphics as the norm rather than the 
exception.  In dialect Scots 'mony a meikle maks a muckle' and a large 
group of messages with small attachments would take us back to square one.

Bravo Bill Bell for the free website idea for large items which must be 
something akin to the 'dropbox' idea raised earlier.
