Right now they're stored in Unix format - seconds since January 1, 1970 in UTC. For Europe they'll all be the same since European Summer Time starts and ends at 0100 UTC, but for the US, NZ, and most (all?) of the others I've looked at, you've got to do what you just did and calculate the offset. > If possible, it might pay to allow the config program to load in the > DST offset info from a file on the PC somewhere - that way we only > need to work it out once per unlisted country & post it to the files > section of the group, instead of each individual having to work it out > to update it (and potentially get it wrong somewhere). That's a good point. It'd be pretty easy to do. Scott
