      Hello Michiel!              Wednesday March 01 2017 16:49, you wrote to All:               > Hello All,               > In order to make it easier for nodelist clerks to synchronise their        > efforts across time zones, I suggest the following;                      > UseUTC (0/1) (default 0)                      > This instructs MakeNl to use UTC instead of local time to determine        > the day of the week and other time related issues.               > E.G.

So I suggest the following option:                      > UseTZUTC (0/1) (default 0)               > Use the TZUTC environment variable to derive UTC from local time,        > instead of using the value supplied by the OS and/or the compiler's        > library functions.                     As I run multi-user systems (Linux) I cannot change the time at a system        level.              So a setting within makenl to deal would be better.              There again just adjust your time set for sending to the earliest period for       both time changes, e.g., forward setting.                            Vince              --- Mageia Linux v5/Mbse v1.0.6.14/GoldED+/LNX 1.1.501-b20150715        * Origin: Air Applewood, The Linux Gateway to the UK & Eire (2:250/1)    |
