Daylight Savings Time

[Richard Miller]

Ken,

Did you test my script on a Mac or PC? On my PC it works. On my Mac,  
it doesn't. Anyone else find this to be the case? I'd really like to  
find a simpler alternative to the solution you present, if it's  
possible. But if not, thanks for offering it.

Richard
