  18.     It seems to me that SecToUnixDate(sec,hoursFromGmt) in procs/datetime.icn
  19.     does not handle daylight savings time.
  20.  
  21. That's right: it has no knowledge of time zones or daylight savings time,
  22. only a single correction factor.  You need to incorporate the daylight
  23. savings time correction in the "hoursFromGmt" argument.
