Another possibility is to change from... lastSat 24:00 ...to... lastSat 23:59:59 (meaning that changes will be one second premature and that some binary output files will change, but avoiding the dread 60th second.) --ado -----Original Message----- From: Dave Rolsky [mailto:autarch@urth.org] Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2003 12:41 PM To: Olson, Arthur David (NIH/NCI) Cc: 'Diane Kledzik'; Tz (tz@elsie.nci.nih.gov) Subject: RE: compile errors on timezone database On Wed, 3 Dec 2003, Olson, Arthur David (NIH/NCI) wrote:

Please don't do this. This is a bogus time, because there is no leap second at that time. 24:00 makes a lot more sense. Plus my parsing code already handles it and I don't want to have to make more changes ;) -dave /*======================= House Absolute Consulting www.houseabsolute.com =======================*/
