I'm having trouble with Microport System V AT/286 and the TZ (TIMEZONE) environment. I'm in California USA and TZ=PST8PDT. The problem is, the system doesn't seem to know that Daylight Savings Time now goes into effect in Mar instead of the last Sunday in April. Is there a way to correct this, short of editing all the .profile/.login files that set TZ? I'm assuming the system will think we changed after the last Sunday this month, but I still would like to fix it so I don't have to worry about it again next time. The kernel runs GMT right? So I assume it's wrong in every program that uses the libc ctime() stuff. If so, does Microport have patches for it? -- David Beckemeyer | "Yuh gotta treat people jes' like yuh Beckemeyer Development Tools | do mules. Don't try to drive 'em.
