>> I've noticed that messages that originate here have a TZUTC kludge that says >>-0800.

But, I could be wrong though. BBBS seems to get the time right ok in Pacific Standard Time. It's when we spring ahead it doesn't change to Pacific Daylight Time. The computers clock does change but the TZUTC: kludge doesn't. I have found here that setting the TZ and TZUTC environments is needed, at least in PDT. In my case I set TZ=PDT+7 and TZUTC=-0700 and now my TZUTC kludge is correct. --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Toy-4* Origin: The Rusty MailBox - Penticton, BC Canada (1:153/757) SEEN-BY: 14/5 15/0 19/36 34/999 90/1 104/57 106/201 116/18 120/331 123/140 SEEN-BY: 128/2 153/7715 218/700 222/2 230/150 152 240/1120 250/1 261/38 100 SEEN-BY: 266/512 267/155 275/100 280/464 282/1031 1056 291/1 111 320/119 219 SEEN-BY: 340/400 342/13 396/45 633/267 640/1384 712/620 848 770/1 801/161 189 SEEN-BY: 3634/12 5020/1042 @PATH: 153/757 7715 261/38 712/848 633/267 |
