hello *, By now nearly the whole civilized world will have found it necessary to complicate people's lives by changing the time. This summertime, often called daylight saving time (DST) will last for a couple of months and then _again_ the time is changed. Are you fed up with changing the time of your computer too? Here is the way to do it better :-). Posix defines in its 1003.1 a TZ environment variable which indicates when you DST starts and ends and a (char *)tzname[2]. I implemented these in the 1.5.10 Minix lib/ansi/ctime.c for the functions involved, i.e. ctime(), localtime(), mktime() and tzset(). In the source I include a complete desciption of what the TZ looks like according to Posix (and me :-). The idea is that every computer on the world internally runs on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), or better called Universal Coordinated Time (UCT). The TZ indicates how far the particular computer is off GMT. Extra the TZ indicates whether there is DST, and the start and end date. When the local time should be known for display or reference ('date', news/mail Date: field, 'cron') the internal GMT combined with TZ gives the local time. Here is a piece about TZ from the source: * Time zones (TZ) are given as strings of the form (spaces only for clarity) * * Std Offset [Dst [Offset] [,Startdate[/Time], Enddate[/Time]]] * * where: * Std and Dst three or more bytes that are the designation for the standard * (std) or summer (dst) time zone. Only std is required; if dst * is missing, then summer time doen not apply in this locale. * * Offset and Indicates the value one must add to the local time to arrive * Time at Coordinated Universal Time. The offset has the form * hh[:mm[:ss]] * The hours shall be required and may be a single digit. If no * offset follows dst, summer time is assumed to be one hour ahead * of standard time. If preceded by a "-", the time zone shall be * east of the Prime meridian; otherwise it shall be west. Default * DST offset will be 1 hour, default switch Time will be 02:00:00 * * date The format of the date shall be one of the following: * Jn Julian day (1 <= n <= 365) * leapdays are NOT counted, so March 1 is always day 60 * n Zero-based Julian day (0 <= n <= 365) * leapdays are counted, so March 1 is day 61 in leapyears * Mm.n.d The d-th day (0<=d<=6) of week n (1 <=n<=5) of month * m (1<=m<=12), where week 5 means 'the last d day in * month m' which may occur in either the fourth or * fifth week. Week 1 is the first week in which d'th * day occurs. Day zero is sunday. * * See for more explanations on the TZ definition the IEEE Std 1003.1-1988 * Posix Standard, paragraphs 8.1.1 "Extensions to Time Functions" on 142-143. For reasons of simplicity I twice took the liberty of deviating from the straight Posix, namely time specification will be ignored, and is hardcoded to 02:00:00 and this TZ-stuff only works properly on the Nothern Hemisphere. The time specification would mean much ado about little as nearly all time changes take place at 02:00 (or thereabouts). The TZ-stuff will easily work on the Southern Hemisphere by swopping two hunk of source (It is indicated in the file). Those who will not accept this: Sorry for them. Now the ten steps of the installation: 1. unpack the thing below uud mail decompress ctime.shar.Z sh < ctime.shar 2. Read the Readme more Readme (this text) 3. put ctime.c in /usr/src/lib/ansi mv ctime.c /usr/src/lib/ansi 4. compile it to ctime.s make ctime.s 5. replace the ctime.s now in libc.a ar rv /usr/lib/libc.a ctime.s 6. as you don't believe me.... mv Date.c /usr/src/commands compile the demo programme and... make f=Date give it a try TZ=Foo2Bar,1,300;Date 6. Then, convinced, you recompile all programmes that use the time functions, such as date, cron, mail, inews 7. Edit /etc/rc and put a TZ definition up at the beginning, especially before date is run and before cron is started 8. Edit /etc/profile and put the same TZ definition in there 9. login anew as root, and set the battery-backup'ed clock to GMT, or if you can use 'date' for that (volatile clock== b-b'ed clock) or if you have no b-b'ed clock (then why bother about TZ) to local time, as the mktime() in 'date' will do the TZ translation for you. 10. Done. (you may want to reboot to be sure, but it is not needed). Several examples how to define your TZ: Middle-Europe (=Central Europe), e.g. The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal MET-01:00:00METDST+01:00:00,M3.5.0/02:00:00,M9.5.0/02:00:00 or MET-1METDST,M3.5.0,M9.5.0 (using the defaults :-) UK GMT0BST,M3.5.0,M9.5.0 Western SU WSU-3WSUDST,M3.5.0,M9.5.0 (knowledgeable guess) Eastern USA EST5EDT (US rule is default) Central USA CST6CDT Newfoundland NFLD3:30NFLD Central Oz OZCST-9:30 (doesn't have DST). Those of who are still reading here, Would you, in case you think this so rewarding that you put it into action, be so kind to drop me a line stating so? Thanks.

There is also a modified Julian Date, MJD which is JD - 240,000.5, the .5 because the MJD starts on the previous midnight. (This calculation assumes that the JD has a fractional part to signify time-of-day. The fraction is usually dropped.) Hence, today's MJD is 8362. Sometimes a 5-digit figure is given, ie MJD 48362 .
