Does anyone know if, DEC(for ULTRIX), Berkeley(for BSD's) and or AT+T(for SYS5), will or does have a patch for the ctime library and a set of re-compiled programs that we at BBN can install on our systems before the date is supposed to change on April 5th?????? I'm new to this mailing list and have seen a small part of the tail end of this discussion. I already know what needs to change in the ctime.c file, but what I don't have is a complete list of programs that would need to be re-compiled with the library fix. Is there such a list?? I would appreciate any help on this subject. I am particularly interrested in BSD4.2, BSD4.3, ULTRIX 1.2 and ULTRIX 2.0. Thanks in advance, franco%mikey.bbn.com@csnet-relay ...!bbn.com!franco@mikey.bbn.com

With regard to Ultrix, I called DEC Tech. Support. Their answer was: - on <the new changeover date> use the 'date' command to advance the time 1 hour. It will say PST (or whatever) instead of PDT (or whatever). - on <the old changeover date> use the 'date' command to set back the time 1 hour. It will then show daylight savings time correctly. In other words, "ctime fix? we don't got no stinking ctime fix!" :-) Sorry for the verbose message, but we need filler for inews.

Does this mean that the next release of Ultrix *won't* have a ctime that knows about the 1987 DST changes?
