      Hello Michiel!              01 Mar 17 16:49, you wrote to all:               MV> In order to make it easier for nodelist clerks to synchronise their        MV> efforts across time zones, I suggest the following;               MV> UseUTC (0/1) (default 0)               MV> This instructs MakeNl to use UTC instead of local time to determine        MV> the day of the week and other time related issues.               MV> E.G. When it is Thursday 21:00 local time and it is Friday 01:00 UTC,        MV> Makenl will act as if is is run on Friday and use the day of the week        MV> number corresponding to Friday.               MV> In some cases, it may be necessary to override the OS's and/or        MV> compiler's time functions. So I suggest the following option:               MV> UseTZUTC (0/1) (default 0)               MV> Use the TZUTC environment variable to derive UTC from local time,        MV> instead of using the value supplied by the OS and/or the compiler's        MV> library functions.              Your feature request is noted. This will take some time to code and test, so        I can make no promises as to when it will be available.              Andrew              --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20161221        * Origin: Phoenix BBS * phoenix.bnbbbs.net (1:320/219)    |
