[comp.sys.mac.programmer] Time and the Script Manager

resnick@cogsci.uiuc.edu (Pete Resnick) (08/30/90)

In the new Script Manager 2.0 Chapter, concerning how to get the
GMT delta time, there is a reserved byte for Daylight Savings delta
time. Is this going to be used in System 7? If so, how; if not, when?
When I say how, I mean, is this going to be a boolean value of whether
DLS is currently in effect, or is it for something else. I am writing
a program in which, for the time being, I will take care of DLS. Can
I use this byte in any appropriate way now, or should I not touch it
as documented and wait for something to happen?
