      Hello Michiel!              01 Mar 17 16:49, you wrote to All:               MvdV> In order to make it easier for nodelist clerks to synchronise their        MvdV> efforts across time zones, I suggest the following;                      MvdV> UseUTC (0/1) (default 0)                      MvdV> This instructs MakeNl to use UTC instead of local time to determine the        MvdV> day of the week and other time related issues.               MvdV> E.G.

So I suggest the following option:                      MvdV> UseTZUTC (0/1) (default 0)               MvdV> Use the TZUTC environment variable to derive UTC from local time,        MvdV> instead of using the value supplied by the OS and/or the compiler's        MvdV> library functions.               Why would you make it so intricate. As far as I know it gouverned by        PublishDay               If you run before the day has stated, you set Publishday to the nextday,        otherwise to the current day.              Kees              --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5        * Origin: As for me, all I know is that, I know nothing.
