The seconds and time zones

Hi Folks

There is another issue when using the seconds for a time stamp. If you  
record the seconds in a month outside summer time and translate the  
seconds to another format in a month in summer time or visa versa your  
result is an hour wrong. So the engine is not working out if the date  
the seconds refers to is in summer time or not before converting it  
using your local time zone. I always use the internet time for time  
stamps.

Cheers

Monte
