Short: Adjusts time for Daylight Saving Time Author: sfalke@gmx.de (Stefan Falke) Uploader: sfalke gmx de (Stefan Falke) Type: util/time Version: 1.9 Replaces: util/time/SetDST* Requires: AmigaOS 2.04+ (V37+) Architecture: m68k-amigaos Kurz: Passt Uhr an Sommerzeit an NAME SetDST 1.9 (16.3.2001) Public Upload #7 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.
