- 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, TZONE, TZ, TIMEZONE and YAM_TZ, 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.

- CHANGES SINCE V1.8
-
- 1.9 (16.3.2001)
- ---------------
- ° All Requesters now use the ReAction GUI engine when available.
- ° DST.dat now contains entries for new OS3.5/OS3.9-Countries.
- ° A timezone record will now also be found when the identifier matches but the
- GMT offset doesn't.
- When there are more than on records with the same identifier the first
- matching one will be used in this case.
- ° A timezone record may now contain more than one identifier.
- ° TZONE is no longer padded with a leading zero when the GMT offset hour has
- one digit only.
- ° The logfile format has been changed slightly.
