Converting times

[Sarah]

Neil,

OS 9 handles daylight saving in a very different way to OS X. In OS 9 
it is an option that you turn on in the control panel, OS X just does 
it on it's own and you can't over-ride it. I guess it gets the data 
directly from the time servers or it has it built into the selectable 
locations. I don't know how Windows does it, but obviously OS 9 behaves 
much better :-)

Cheers,
Sarah
