Re: QTIMZON Question

[Jim Franz <franz9000@xxxxxxxxx>]

the help text for qtimzon indicates the offset displayed includes
adjustment for daylight savings time

The following values are the current settings that are associated with
the time zone specified above.

Offset
    Contains the time difference between this time zone and Coordinated
    Universal Time (UTC), specified in hours and minutes.  A negative
    difference indicates that the time zone is west of UTC and a
    positive difference indicates that the time zone is east of UTC.
    This is the offset that is currently used to determine local system
    time.  This value has been adjusted for Daylight Saving Time, if
    necessary.
