|    winpoint: TZUTC problem    |
|    16 Nov 19 21:58:17    |
      MSGID: 2:221/1.59 f32cbf85       CHRS: IBMPC 2       TZUTC: -0500       REPLY: 2:310/31.3@fidonet de7a5811       Hello Martin,              On 16.11.19, you wrote,                      AA>> Looking back at the messages you created with Winpoint, your TZUTC        AA>> figure is 0100. But since you are located in the UK, the offset should        AA>> be 0000.               MF> +0000 in winter time, +0001 in summer time :)              I think you meant +0100 for the second entry.               In any case, if you look back at any of the messages you created with       Winpoint, you would find that the TZUTC is *always* +0100 irregardless of the       season.              Even if I changed the TZ here on my PC, I could never get Winpoint to register       a -'ve for the TZUTC in the messages. It is as if the author only intended       users to be East of the time meridian. LOL.               But it is most likely that the program miscalculates the resultant TZ figure       and does not include the -'ve for the Western time zones.              This looks like another CON candidate to be added on "the list":               https://kolico.ca/fidonet/echos/points/                     ../|ug              --- WinPoint Beta 5 (359.1)        * Origin: Please write your complaint in this box [ ] - Legibly (2:221/1.59)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/2 90/1 154/10 203/0 221/1 6 360 227/114 229/354       SEEN-BY: 229/426 1014 240/5832 249/206 317 400 280/464 5003 292/854       SEEN-BY: 310/31 317/3 322/757 342/200 396/45 423/120 712/848 770/1       SEEN-BY: 2452/250       PATH: 221/1 280/464 229/426           |
