  22. :    It seems to me that SecToUnixDate(sec,hoursFromGmt) in procs/datetime.icn
  23. :    does not handle daylight savings time.
  24. :
  25. :That's right: it has no knowledge of time zones or daylight savings time,
  26. :only a single correction factor.  You need to incorporate the daylight
  27. :savings time correction in the "hoursFromGmt" argument.
  28.  
  29.  
  30. Is this, perhaps, related to the fact that Icon's home, the State of Arizona,
  31. does not participate in daylight savings time?
