Re: TZ autochanging question

[q-funk@megacom.net (Martin-Eric Racine)]

[Kellis and I noticed MiNT apps show their timestamp as one hour
 earlier than GEMDOS and the RTC chip, which seens to be related
 to auto-changing time by MiNT `login']

 >1) Why did it change today instead of next saturday?

`next saturday' was this morning (april 5 1998) around 2am;
America changes its clocks one week after Europe.

 >2) Why weren't the GEMDOS time and RTC clock updated too?
 
  3) Why did it substract one hour, instead of adding one?

MINT.CNF correctly has TZ defined as `setenv TZ EST5EDT'
(I remed out all TZ definitions everywhere else, since the
problem has occured, to minimize duplication and to reduce
the possibility of conflicting definitions).

 >What can be done to fix these 3 problems?
