Default Daylight Savings Patch

The updates may or may not affect Mr. Candlin at all. If they do, then the
date DST ends is just as important as the date it begins. One or the other
occurs in the spring, one or the other occurs in the fall. By convention, MS
counts the date in effect for various TZ settings as per (Gregorian)
calendar year, so any changes should be made on or about Jan 1, each year. I
will be updating my own patch yearly, some time early in the Holiday season.

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.

What time zone are you in, Fred? It's important that your Time Zone be
properly set, including whether the current time is Std or DST, not just
that the clock be correct. That way, people and other machines know what
time it really is for your locale. Read my article at
http://grystmill.com/articles/tz_update.htm

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't the START time for DST be at
2:00 am on the second Sunday in March? Also, Nowhere I read the month
of October. To quote from PCR's master post:

" United States
Beginning in the spring of 2007, the start dates and end dates for
daylight saving time (DST) will change to comply with the Energy
Policy Act of 2005. DST dates for 2007 in the United States and Canada
will start three weeks earlier (2:00 A.M. on the second Sunday in
March), and will end one week later (2:00 A.M. on the first Sunday in
November).
......EOQ............

b. Select the time that you want to start daylight saving time.
In other words, select 2:00 AM.
c. In the Last Day box, click the number of the day,
the corresponding day of the week, and the month that you
want.
In other words, click Last, click Sunday, and then click
February.

See above quote.

If I'm wrong, please correct me as I do not want to confuse others nor
myself.

I used TZ_UP_9X on two computers, Win98SE and Win98FE. I ran it yesterday
on both.
Also tried again to day after setting the time correctly but nothing
changed.

For anyone the law changes for, and for the Israelis and others who are
using a different calendar wherein the term "Second Sunday", or "third
Saturday" are nonsense and thus have to be translated.

Read my article. Apply the patch. Follow the post-patch instructions (which
should also be followed after using TZEdit.)

Thanks for all your good work on your Time Zone patch. It worked on both my
