what patch?

the XP fixing of timezones...

if you have updates, it should have been rolled in a long time ago.

the tz rules have to be updated every few years...

it seems.

I'm on Vista

so are you at -3 or -4 now?

since vista crapped on reboot... I have turned away.  I mean destroying 
your own MBR while booting is a pretty bad bug... It was partway 
booting.

-4

Last year was the big TZ update here.

so I installed XP  (30 hours of work mind you)

Hmm..  so why when I change to canadian time in vista, does Rebol 
say I'm at -3 ?

when it normally takes me 1-2 hours...

EST?

EDT?

Atlantic time

thats correct.

-3 is the current atlantic time... eastern is at -4

Atlantic time is -3 ?

yess sir

in DST it is

and we have shifted last week-end.

before europe, AFAIK

I'm getting reports that my app is complaining that the time is 1 
hour out :(

Could it be daylight saving time ?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_Time

yep... DST

What's the time in Ontario now? 00:42 ?

WinXP has an option to automatically adjust time during daylight 
savings. I suspect Rebol gets confused by that.

yes.

and what timezone should they choose??

in windows?

anton: its always worked for me... as long as the computer shifts 
the DST correctly... which it doesn't by default, unless you have 
the kb installed.

EST -5 with the daylight saving set to on.

ok, let me try that :)

I had the problem this week end... I had to install the latest kb 
update ... cause my computer was NOT switching the DST   :-(

cause the check mark in the time settings, only switches the "automatic" 
aspect of it... you can't manually set the dst to on or off.... which 
is darn stupid.

Ok, that works for me!

Thanks .. I'll tell all my users to move to Ontario

cool

hahahah

Oh, maybe the users have the wrong regional settings entered on their 
systems?

WindowsXP-KB942763-x86-ENU.exe  is the file that fixes tz on xp.

it superseeds older ones... (there are two previous kb I think... 
one in the 7 range and one in the 8 range IIRC)

I've passed on Max's instructions ... to reseed their clocks

I mean supercede their OS

if you search the net, you will quickly find the direct download 
link for that file from MS servers, without the need for WGA   :-)

got it my first search IIRC

So, Brian, the wiki is going to be ignored?

Brian, how do you do this: nforeach [a block1 b block2] [...]   without 
do/next or reduce?
