D is daylight savings, which is summer. However, I think the problem may be that bash has a different idea of what time it is than the native shell does. The following is on spe180: $ bash -c date Tue Oct 11 09:00:50 EDT 2005 $ show time 11-OCT-2005 08:00:54 This could be a problem in the bash set-up on the testdrive -- I can't reproduce it on my local system. Are you exiting bash before running MMS? That just might do the trick. -- ________________________________________ Craig A.
