I had come to almost believe that up-side-down people like Candlin may
legitimately change their dates in October. However, I'm willing to side with Terhune & say you are correct-- that everyone must do it today! Anyhow, TZEdit appears to have worked well for me. -- Thanks or Good Luck, There may be humor in this post, and, Naturally, you will not sue, Should things get worse after this, PCR "Not My Name" wrote in message ... | On Sat, 10 Mar 2007 19:13:39 -0800, "Gary S.
