Um, will this make DST happen unconditionally? Most of Indiana, US, does not observe DST. There is one other US state that doesn't either, but I don't recall which one it is.
I wouldn't bet too heavily on that one hour difference, either. Historically DST has sometimes had a two hour offset in some places. If you want to see a good DST implementation, look at the DST patches for TOPS-20, but be prepared to study *long* tables of differentials. Politicians play with the dates and differentials all the time, and differently in different places.
Mark H. Wood, Lead System Programmer MWOOD@INDYVAX.IUPUI.EDU Those who will not learn from history are doomed to reimplement it.
