NAME
SetDST 1.3 (26.4.99)
Aminet-Upload #2
INTRODUCTION
In most countries of the world local time changes two times a year: from
local standard time, also known as Wintertime, to local daylight saving time
(DST), also known as Summertime, and back.
SetDST helps you to keep up with the DST switches and will perform any
necessary action automatically.
It may be run in the background if you wish, so if you never switch your
computer off it will make sure that you always have the right system
time--hopefully, though ;-)
In addition to that SetDST creates and manages up to 4 environment variables
which enables other applications to make use of the time zone names and GMT
offsets stored within.
It is able to patch the default locale by user request.
EINFÜHRUNG
In den meisten Ländern dieser Erde wird zweimal im Jahr die lokale
Ortszeit umgestellt: von Winterzeit auf Sommerzeit und umgekehrt.
SetDST hilft dabei, mit den Zeitumstellungen Schritt zu halten und führt
alle notwendigen Änderungen automatisch durch.
Es kann auf Wunsch im Hintergrund laufen, so daß auch dann immer die
korrekte Zeit eingestellt ist, wenn der Computer dauernd in Betrieb ist -
hoffentlich jedenfalls ;-)
Darüber hinaus erzeugt und verwaltet SetDST bis zu 4 Umgebungsvariablen,
was es anderen Anwendungsprogrammen ermöglicht, die darin gespeicherten
Zeitzonen-Namen und Zeitdifferenzen von GMT zu nutzen.
Auf Wunsch kann die Default-Locale gepatcht werden.
HISTORY
1.3
---
° It is now possible to force SetDST to only change the battery-backed
clock by specifying the new argument/tooltype BATTCLOCKONLY in order to
avoid problems arising from changing system time on the fly.
° It is now possible to set the default locale to the current offset from
GMT determined by SetDST by specifying the new argument/tooltype
SETLOCALE
This allows applications to make use of SetDST which do not evaluate
environment variables.
° It is now possible to remove all or single environment variables
maintained by SetDST by specifying the new argument/tooltype REMOVEENV.
° The environment variable TZ can now be written in a different form to
support applications which work around the broken SAS/C time functions
by specifying the new argument/tooltype SASFIX.
° Installer script added to distribution archive.
° French language catalog added to distribution archive.
° Added more messages when changing system time/battery-backed clock and
when setting/deleting environment variables.
° SetDST now requires language catalogs V2.x.
