  18. Hello,
  19.  
  20. It seems to me that SecToUnixDate(sec,hoursFromGmt) in procs/datetime.icn does
  21. not handle daylight savings time.  That is, when I use a C program to convert a
  22. number of seconds since 1/1/1970 00:00:00 to a Unix data/time, I get a 1
  23. hr. difference from what SecToUnixDate(sec,-5) reports.  (-5 is my current
  24. hoursFromGmt).
  25.  
  26. Is this well-known?  What can be done about it?  Thanks.
  27.
