   You're welcome.   
      
    AA> BTW.. the TZUTC does not seem to appear in my .40 version:   
      
   It doesn't appear in my .41 development version either because the     
   implementation of the TZUTC kludge is mainly for the benefit of other     
   Fido software. It's complicated and I don't fully understand how it     
   works yet.

   Nope.

   Yes, that's how it's always worked but during our testing of the TZUTC     
   kludge, we discovered that the time offset at the end of the EDA     
   kludge wasn't working correctly. We're working on that now :)

   :-)   
      
    AA> The equivalent does not appear using other readers when checking

   I'll pass your comment on to the developer and see if he can shed some     
   light on this ;)
