[Dxbase] DX time oops

[Joseph Glockner]

Peter,

The following info is from the 2006 dxb2knts.txt file
that comes with DXbase2006:

//quote//


41. Replaced the Miles and Kilometers entries in Summary window
with one entry called distance and provided user option to select 
between display of miles or kilometers.

Added a field on the summary window to show the DX station's
approximate local time.

Added new field in several refdata tables to store GMT offset for 
Timezone info.

//unquote//

Pse note the words "approximate local time" ...
