Hello mark,

It must read my system clock, which uses UTC, whereas (I got the answer
from Rob) Synchronet has a setting for Local Time. If you select any USA
timezone, ie: CDT or CST -- which I am in, It seems to give the TZUTC 0000
kludge. This post should be fixed, as I changed Synchronet to UTC -0600.
Maybe I found a bug, I don't know. He hasn't responded to me a second time
yet.

I don't usually bug report there. If I can catch him on IRC in a lot
shorter of a timespan, I'll ask him there.. rather than waiting hours for
an answer.

Regards,
Nick
