I am not a fan of this change in general, I think UTC-1 is both more

Looking at the posted patch I must say that in most cases the replacement is a lot more difficult to read than the original. Using UTC as a flag that the offset is based on that makes documentation unambiguous. But then I'm still fighting the fact that these ARE only offsets and have nothing to do with flagging DST time zones! -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk
