The multitudes on the net who aren't going to buy new hardware but DO need to edit ctime.c and get it into a release before the change would like to know: WHAT IS THE CHANGE IN DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME? Unless you are absolutely 100% sure and ready to be lynched by thousands of angry people if you are wrong there is no reason to reply. The actual numbers to plug into daytab[] would be terrific. Be sure to specify what years you are talking about. I would guess that the change is for going off daylight time in the fall of 1987 and going back on in the spring of 1988. I hope that they haven't scheduled it for 1986! Btw, those of you who want to save a few cycles can change the line in localtime() that reads: if (ct->tm_year == 74 || ct->tm_year == 75) to if (ct->tm_year <= 75 && ct->tm-year >= 74) Bob Toxen Stratus Computer {ucbvax!ihnp4,harvard}!anvil!bob (Please use THIS address to reply) "panic: can't happen"
