Program: dst2
Programmer: George Kerber
Written: 01/01/90
Purpose: Automatically adjust the Amiga system clock for
Daylight Savings Time
Directions: 1. Copy 'dst2' to your c: directory.
2. Always keep your battery backup clock set for
STANDARD time in your area.
3. Add 'dst2' to your startup-sequence after any command
necessary to read your battery backup clock.
Then whenever you boot up your Amiga, DST2 will check if it's daylight
savings time for the current year. If daylight savings time is in
effect, DST2 will increment your system clock by 1 hour. Since this
will not change your battery backup clock, the test will be valid
every time you boot up.
Only run DST2 once per login session, or the clock may get incremented
more than once.
NOTE: I released a version of DST a while ago that was much larger and
did more things. All versions have the same functions, but this
version (2.0) will not automatically set the env variable
TIMEZONE for use with the old udate program. The TIMEZONE
env variable that was set with the old DST program is not
compatible with the newest udate program anyway.
If you are using the latest version (1.15c) of 'udate' that I
wrote the 'dst' functions are included in 'udate'. So there is
no reason to use 'dst'. I simply wrote a stand alone version
of 'dst' to accomodate the people who wanted the 'dst' functions
in a smaller package that the entire 'udate' program.
STATUS: This program is public domain and can be freely distributed.
Please keep me as author and distribute both the documents
and program together. I'm not responsible for anything....
