Unofficial Time Zones Update (Testers wanted)
OK, I think it's mostly finished. All I need are a few guinea pigs, web page
proofers, etc. The files I am offering work for ALL legacy Windows systems, 95 through 2000 (XP and 2003 are the only ones MS provides updates for, and the info is already in Vista.) The only system I haven't tested yet is NT4. If anyone has one they're willing to test it on, I'd sure appreciate it. Otherwise, it will be another several days before I can dig out my copy of that and load it into a VPC. Might as well start at the beginning: http://www.grystmill.com Once I'm satisfied, I'll be broadcasting the news to all MS public newsgroups. Heck, I bet even most XP users don't know they need it, and it isn't installed by Automatic Updates or suggested by using Express option at Windows Updates. Only the Custom option. Seems real stupid to me, but the logic MS uses to handle Updates often escapes me. Like making IE7 a Recommended Update, but then having Automatic Updates install it. Dumb, dumb, dumb! PLEASE!! If you're not reasonably adept at using Windows, backing up Registries, restoring same, etc., DON'T try these Unofficial Updates until others have proven them out. -- Gary S.
